The cottage has a central lobby entry and is two storeys high with three windows. The front has a central planked door surrounded by a beaded architrave, with a three-light casement window on either side. On the first floor, there are three-light casement windows flanking a two-light casement window.
The left side of the building has a one-light casement window in the attic and is attached to a single-storey outbuilding that has double planked doors and a hipped roof. The right side features a two-light casement window on the first floor and a one-light casement window in the attic. At the rear, there is a 19th-century brick lean-to extension on the ground floor, with a two-light casement window above it on the first floor. Inside, the cottage has blocked open fireplaces, planked doors, and winding stairs located against the central stack.
