A gabled timber porch with a thatched roof shelters the doorway in the second bay from the left, which features a wooden lintel above the door. There are three-light casement windows with wooden lintels to the left and two similar windows to the right. A half dormer window, also with a wooden lintel and a three-light casement, is visible in the attic. The right gable end has a coping. The interior has not been inspected.
