The cottage is one storey and has an attic, comprising two bays. There are 19th-century three-light casements under timber lintels at the front, and 20th-century barred casements at the rear, including one in the thatch. The left gable has a paired 19th-century casement in the attic. There is a 20th-century lean-to on the left that connects to a 20th-century garage block.
