It is a one-and-a-half storey building with two windows containing 2-light iron casements with lead lights; these windows have wood cills and lintels. Two gabled half-dormers are present. The front door, located to the left of centre, is panelled and features two top lights. This building possesses group value from its contribution to the wider historic landscape.
