The house is two storeys high with dormers and has four sash windows with thin glazing bars and stone cills, featuring gauged brick voussoirs. The dormers have two 20th-century two-light casements. The front door, located on the right side, has flush and recessed panels with three top lights and dates from the late 19th century. There is another door to the right of this, which is flush panelled and framed.
