The eaves feature a dentil design with blue headers. It has a tiled roof and brick chimneys located to the left and between the right-hand bays, both with offset heads. The building has a T-plan layout with a single-storey and attic range at the rear center, as well as an outshot in the northwest angle. The south front consists of three bays with 19th-century three-light wooden casements. There is a boarded door framed with an architrave and a 20th-century gabled porch situated between the left-hand bays. Additionally, there is a single-storey weatherboard extension to the left.
