The eaves project, and there are 20th-century brick stacks at each gable end. The building is two storeys high and has four windows, which are three-light stone mullions with hollow chamfers and separate returned labels above.

At the rear, there is a wing made of rubble-stone with a Roman tile roof that features cresting, along with 20th-century metal-framed windows and two 20th-century plank doors.
