The house has two storeys and a four-window front. It features sash windows with glazing bars, flat stone arches over the windows, and a six-panel glazed door. A 19th-century addition extends to the rear. Inside, there is a 16th-century stone fireplace with a beam above, featuring carved ovolo and diamond motifs. The building retains cruck construction.
