The cottage is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a tiled roof with three paired brick chimneystacks. It is two storeys high and has two windows, which are casements with leaded lights. The front of the building includes a right-side projecting gable with pendants, a left-side dormer also with pendants, and a central gabled porch that features pendants and a plank door.
