The cottage is two storeys high and includes a 20th-century porch with a slate lean-to roof and metal casement. On the ground floor, there are two casement windows with horizontal centre glazing bars set under segmental arches, and there are two similar casements on the first floor. Inside, there is a large open fireplace on the ground floor and some exposed ceiling beams.
