It is constructed of rubble and features three windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor, which are two-light later casements. The door is located off centre to the left, with a bressumer beam above all the ground floor openings. The cottage has two chimneys at the gable ends. At the rear, there is a rethatched catslide roof that includes three eyebrow dormers.
