It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and ironstone, topped with a slate roof and featuring a stone stack. The building has two storeys and two bays. On the left side, there is a gabled stone porch with a pointed archway, above which is a carved shield displaying the date 1822 and the inscription "Deo Gloria." The inner doorway has a moulded wood frame and a four-panel door. To the right, there are three-light casement windows with stone lintels, and a small two-light casement window with a wood lintel in the right bay. On the first floor, there is another three-light casement window with a stone lintel in the right bay, and a three-light wood casement window with a wood lintel on the left. The gable ends are coped with kneelers. There is a 20th-century stone extension to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
