There is one brick chimney stack located at the right gable. The cottage has two storeys and two windows, each with two-light wooden casements and glazing bars, but without cills. The ground floor windows are topped with segmental brick arches. The front door, located at the center of the cottage, is made of wood with glass panels and dates from the 20th century. A small wooden porch with a thatched canopy is positioned over the door.
