It is constructed of rubble walls with stone quoins, and has a thatch and slate roof, featuring five brick stacks along the ridge. The house is two and a half storeys high, with a seven-window front.

Inside, the house features shallow and deep-chamfered ceiling beams, and a stack against the cross-passage.
