It is constructed of whitewashed brick with some timber framing, and has tiled roofs with rebuilt brick chimneys in the centre of each wing. The building is arranged in an L-shape and has one storey and an attic. The south side of the house has three bays. The left bay has a lean-to addition. The centre bay has 20th-century wooden casement windows, a three-light window on the ground floor, and a two-light window in a gabled dormer in the eaves. A four-panelled door with a lean-to hood supported by brackets is located to the left. The right bay is gabled and has some weatherboarding and barred wooden casement windows. A Sun Fire Insurance plaque is visible.
