Rendered chimney, barely visible above the thatch. Two room plan with winder stair in rear wall. One storey with garret. Cottage ornee style. Centre doorway with window at either side. Two dormers in the thatch, the windows with cranked heads. Thatch sweeps down over a verandah supported on rough tree trunks stripped of their bark. Opposite the door the verandah breaks forward to form a small porch with gabled roof. Windows have late C20 plain wood casements. Late C20 wing to right, designed in same style as original. Late C20 conservatory to left.
