The original part of the building is one storey with an attic and has two dormer gables on the right side. It includes timber casements with leaded lights, although one gable has been rebuilt. On the ground floor, there is a two-light leaded timber casement, a 20th-century door, and another two-light leaded timber casement. To the right, there is a 20th-century window. At the back, there is a two-storey wing that has altered windows and a ridge stack, which is likely from the 19th century.
