The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a four-window range of sashes with glazing bars. The right-hand doorway has panelled reveals and a panelled door, which is set inside a 20th-century glazed porch. On the left side, there is a Victorian porch with a hipped slate roof and chamfered wooden posts. The house has four hipped dormers and rendered end and ridge chimney stacks. At the rear, there is a 20th-century gabled wing, and a short wing at the west end features an external stone rubble chimney stack with set-offs and a projecting oven. Inside, there is a modest late 18th-century to early 19th-century staircase with a handrail that ramps up to the newels and has stick balusters. The ground floor center room includes an early 19th-century plaster cornice.
