The roof is made of graduated slate and features stone chimneys at the middle and ends. The building has two storeys and presents a symmetrical three-bay front. The central entrance consists of a panelled door framed by a corniced stone surround, with a single sash window featuring glazing bars on either side of the door on both floors. To the east, there is a two-bay cottage that is set back, which has a plank door and a single sash window on the left side of each floor.
