It is constructed of painted brick with raised painted stone quoins, and has a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and brick chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high and features four bays. The front entrance has a top-glazed four-panel door set within a moulded stone architrave, with a dated and inscribed keystone and moulded cornice. The windows are two-pane sash windows in moulded painted stone architraves. An adjoining building is not of particular architectural or historical interest.
