The building features painted rubble-stone walls and a hipped thatched roof. It is two storeys high and has two windows, with a large 20th-century shop window on the right side of the ground floor that projects as a square bay. Above this, there are two-light wooden casements with glazing bars. The front door, located on the left side of the ground floor, is made of wood and has marginal glazing, also from the 20th century.
