There are brick stacks at each gable. The cottage is two storeys high and has two windows on the ground floor, which are three-light wooden casements, while above are 20th-century two-light casements. Segmental brick arches made of red bricks and burnt headers are present over the windows. The front door, located on the south wall, is a 19th-century plank door with a hipped thatch porch supported by wooden posts.
