The cottage features an off-centre brick stack and a lobby entry. It has one-and-a-half storeys and consists of two bays. The left gable and the right-hand bay have paired barred casements with timber lintels, and there is an upper window in the thatch.

Originally, this building was two cottages. Myrtle Cottage is included for its group value.
