The building features brick walls and a tiled roof with stone eaves courses. It has one brick chimney stack at the right end and another at the left end of the original section. The house is two storeys high with an attic.
The entrance has a raised panel door located under a flat hood supported by shaped brackets. On the ground floor, there are two sash windows with vertical glazing bars and a pair of part-glazed doors with sidelights, which are part of the later section. The first floor contains three casement windows, each with a central horizontal bar. In the attic, there are two hipped dormers with sash windows.
At the right end of the house, there is a lower 19th-century extension made of brick, topped with a slate roof. Additionally, there are 19th-century brick and slate extensions at the rear of the building.
