The glazing bars are intact, and there is a 19th-century bay window on the ground floor. The building has two storeys and an attic, with four windows and three dormers that have 19th-century gables. The north front has been refaced with Roman cement and features six windows. A gabled porch contains a doorway with a segmental fanlight, and there is an additional gable and gabled dormer to the east of the porch.
