The cottage is two storeys high, with two windows featuring 3-light wooden casements with glazing bars, wooden sills, and stone voussoirs above. A plank door is located in a wooden frame, slightly left of centre. A doorway to the right centre has been carefully blocked with dressed stone. Iron railings with spear-head finials sit atop the front sleeper wall.
