There is a small single-storey wing at the front on the right side, and a rear wing that forms an L-shaped plan. Inside, the farmhouse has jointed cruck trusses, a plank and martin screen in the cross passage, and stepped chamfered ceiling beams. A large open fireplace is present, featuring a chamfered bressummer and chamfered stone jambs. The ceiling is made of moulded timber, although the lateral beams have been removed. There are newel stairs located at the rear.
