The Old Smithy Farm is a detached house, likely built in the 18th century. It features brick walls and a tiled roof with stone eaves courses, along with brick stacks at each end. The house is two storeys high and has a gabled porch with a round-headed doorway. On the ground floor, there are two double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, each set under segmental arches. The first floor has three similar windows. At the rear, there is a lean-to addition with a catslide roof. A low brick boundary wall runs along the road.
