The windows feature recessed chamfered mullions, with single light fire windows in the first bay, while the window in the third bay of the first floor has a flat-cut mullion. The entrance has chamfered jambs and an embattled lintel, leading to a gabled porch topped with a ball finial and benches. Above the porch is a datestone that reads 1877. The house has a projecting gable-end stack and a corbelled gable-end stack with a rounded shaft. The east end includes a later gabled extension and a 20th-century conservatory. The rear features a projecting gabled bay with a three-light window, a stair light, and a single light on the first floor. To the right, there is an outshut under a catslide roof and a large projecting lateral stack with set-offs and a round shaft. Inside, there is a fireplace with a moulded opening, a corbelled lintel, and a cornice, along with a spice cupboard to the left that has a door with moulded framing.
