The building is one storey with an attic and has two three-light casements, with a modern window on the right-hand side. The rear elevation includes a modern porch and two three-light casements, with the right-hand one featuring leaded glazing. The south gable has a two-light wood casement on the ground floor and a three-light leaded casement on the first floor.
