It has two storeys and two windows on each floor, featuring simple casement windows. Doorways have cambered heads; the doorway to The Cottage shares a lintel with a three-light casement window. Outer through passages are present. A derelict lower extension to the north-west exists, which was formerly a separate cottage. The building is included on the list for group value.
