The facade includes three gables, each with a blind oval bull's eye and a drip mould, as well as a plinth, weathered buttresses, and corbels under the eaves. To the right, there is a gabled porch with a door that has a four-centred arched head and a chamfered surround. The west elevation features a six-light stone mullion and transom window at the upper level, while the east elevation has a six-light stone oriel window with a hood mould, mask stops, and a relieving arch, along with a blind oval bull's eye with a hood mould above. The rear of the building has 20th-century 1½ storey extensions. The interior has not been inspected.
