The front features two cyma-moulded flush mullion windows on the upper floor, and two recessed chamfered windows with hoodmoulds on the ground floor. A central 20th-century stone porch has been added. At the rear, there is a lean-to addition and two 20th-century half-dormers. The cottage originally served as an outbuilding of Home Farm.
