The entrance consists of a planked door with a board hood supported by carved brackets to the left, and to the right is a 2-light casement window. There is a raking dormer that includes a 3-light casement window. At the rear, there is an attic dormer and a 20th-century lean-to extension. The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in December 1985.
