It features a timber frame on a whitewashed brick plinth, with whitewashed brick infill above the exposed frame. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, and it has end gablets. The house is two storeys tall with four framed bays and a front ridge stack located to the right of the centre. The windows are wood framed with leaded casements, including eight small windows on the first floor and four windows on the ground floor, one of which is a large casement. There is a gabled porch to the right of centre with a 20th-century door. Additionally, there is a 20th-century brick extension set back at the right end, featuring a square bay window, boarded cladding, and an end stack.
