The front of the cottage includes a central porch with a pent roof. On each side, there are two-light casement windows, and above these, there are two-light eyebrow dormers. Additionally, there is a two-light casement window in the road bay. The roof is hipped, and there is a chimney stack at the road end of the original cottage.
