The building has a diagonally set stack at the left end with two shafts and an off-centre brick stack at the rear right end. It is L-shaped in plan with a right-angled gabled extension at the rear. The front has a four-window range of 19th-century two-light casements, along with a 19th or 20th-century sash window with two over two panes to the left of a 20th-century door. There is a 20th-century extension on the right side, which has a corrugated iron roof and a glazed front on a brick plinth. The interior has not been inspected.
