The cottage has two storeys and includes two windows with three-light wooden casements, with iron in the center. The front door is a plank door from the 19th century. The interior contains the remains of an open fireplace with brick jambs and a doorcase stair located on the rear wall. The layout consists of two units, with a larger room on the left.
