It is constructed of red brick with some chequer patterning and features a Bridgwater tile roof that is half-hipped to the west. The building has two storeys, with the north front displaying pairs of casement windows above and cyma-moulded recessed stone mullion 2-light windows below. There is a single-window range to the left of the door, which is set in a gabled porch, and a two-window range to the right. The west end has a similar stone mullion window on the first floor and an attic stone oval light. The east end wall shows the line of an earlier roof. On the south side, there is one 20th-century upper window and a glazed lean-to below, with one window featuring an original hoodmould. The building is said to have been an inn and was formerly two cottages.
