The building has three storeys and features a single bay. The segmental-headed windows on the ground and first floors are sashed and include glazing bars, while the second floor has two windows with small-paned fixed glazing and opening lights. The entrance, situated to the left, consists of a four-fielded-panel door accompanied by three top lights. The cottage has gable-end stacks and the rear side features sashed windows, including one paired sash.
