The building has two storeys and two bays, with a slate drip course above the ground floor. The windows are fitted with casements. There is a central entrance that includes a later gabled porch. A gable-end stack is present, and at the rear, there is an outshut beneath a cat slide roof. This property is owned by the National Trust and was a gift from Beatrix Potter.
