The cottage has two storeys, with a 19th-century gabled timber porch that includes ornamental bargeboard, a corrugated roof, and a part-glazed door. On the ground floor, there are two casement windows with cast iron lights, while the first floor also has two similar windows. To the right, there is a single-storey flat-roofed 20th-century extension that includes garage doors and two 20th-century windows.
