It features rubble walls and a limewashed graduated slate roof, along with three chimneys. The building has a gabled porch with a slate roof, a 20th-century French window, and four 20th-century casements on the ground floor, with five additional 20th-century casements above. All windows are in keeping with the building's character. Inside, there is an upper cruck on the left-hand side and a two-stage cupboard that bears initials and the date AW 1659.
