It has a rectangular plan and stands one and a half storeys high, with two Cotswold dormers, each containing a 2-light flat-chamfered stone-mullioned casement without glazing bars. The central entrance features a 19th-century plank door with a thumb latch, set within a plain surround, flanked by a 3-light stone-mullioned casement on either side. The gable ends have stacks and flat coping. The interior has not been inspected.
