The building has two storeys plus attics and includes five windows, all of which are 20th-century top hung casements. There is a central gabled porch that has a 20th-century aluminium glazed door.
Inside, the farmhouse boasts a four-bay roof with chamfered, angled principals, collars, two layers of trenched purlins, and a pegged ridge piece.
