It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and has two storeys, featuring two first-floor windows. The central gabled porch has a board door and a pigeon-cote in the gable. On the ground floor, to the left of the porch, there is a fixed-light fire-window, a 6-pane sash window, and a 4-pane sash window to the right of the porch. A continuous dripmould runs above these windows. On the first floor, there are 6-pane and 4-pane sash windows. The cottage has large end stacks and a 20th-century flat-roofed extension at the rear.
