The structure has a single-unit square plan and stands two storeys tall. The elevation facing the road includes doors for the first floor loft. It has a pyramid roof topped with a weather vane. At the rear, there is a ground floor entrance, a first floor sash window, and a wooden dormer that has entrances for nesting boxes. The right side elevation displays a sundial with the inscription "Hora pars Vite." Attached to the left is a stable and garage, which are partly from the 18th century but were reconstructed in the 19th century. The interior has not been inspected.
