On the first floor, there is a small light above the porch. The entrance to the third bay is marked by a gabled slate slab porch. The cottage has a squat cross-axial stack and gable-end stacks. The right side of the building has casement windows with slate dripcourses and a lean-to outshut, while the end bay includes a large gabled half-dormer. Inside, the cottage features chamfered beams, a corbelled fireplace, a rear winding stair, and possibly upper cruck trusses.
