The building has two storeys and an attic, with a five-window range. It includes leaded cyma-moulded flush mullion windows. The centre gable is coped and contains an attic 2-light window, while the first floor has five 2-light windows. The ground floor features a central door set in a gabled ashlar porch, with two 3-light windows on the left side and a 3-light window along with a pair of casements in a former segment-headed doorway on the right side. There is a one-window matching addition at the left end, which is slightly set back. At the rear, there is a parallel range with five first floor early 19th century twenty-pane sash windows. Inside, the east side has two chamfered beams.
