The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring three bays. The doorway, located in the second bay from the left, has a wooden lintel and a 20th-century six-panel door. To the left of the entrance is a four-light casement window with a wooden lintel and iron casement, while a similar three-light window is found to the right. On the first floor, there is a four-light casement window with a wooden lintel in the left bay, a two-light window above the entrance, and a three-light window in the right bay. The gable end is coped with kneelers on the left side. The building is included for its group value.
