The roof is half-hipped and thatched, with part of it tiled at the rear. There is a thin brick chimney between the right bays and a 19th-century chimney to the left. The house has one and a half storeys and three bays.

The first floor of the right bays has a two-light window beneath thatch eyebrows. A 20th-century door is located between the left bays and is topped with a gabled timber hood. There is also a conservatory on the right side.
