It is constructed of coursed slate with large quoins, while the left return is roughcast, and it features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and two bays, with end pilaster buttresses and crow-stepped gables. A slate dripcourse steps over the porch. The windows are pointed and have large voussoirs, with casements. The entrance features a similar design, including a gabled open timber porch with a plank door. On the left return, there is a projecting gable-end stack, which is corbelled out at the top, and has a round shaft on a square base. The rear of the house includes a small lean-to outshut, with windows positioned under dripcourses. Inside, there is a wood food cupboard in the angle. The property is owned by The National Trust.
