There are rendered stacks at both the left and right gables. The house is two storeys high and has three windows, which are sash style with stone cills. At the centre, there is a stone porch with a stone gable coping and a slate roof. The entrance is round-headed, with a two-leaf door that has flush panels and a wooden frame. Inside, there is a glass-panelled inner door with a fanlight above. A round-headed window is located on the rear wall of the upper storey. The interior includes a staircase with a mahogany handrail that is recess-panelled below the string. In the right ground floor room, there is a cast-iron grate featuring neo-classical ornamentation with recess flutings and oval paterae topped with small urn finials. The fireplace reveals also have fluted iron with garlands and rosettes.
