The house is two storeys and a basement, with a three-bay arrangement. It has 12-pane sash windows, and a barred two-light stone-mullioned window to the basement at ground level. The central door is set in a plain stone surround, with a three-panelled door, the outer two panels being glazed. A moulded flat stone hood is supported by cut stone brackets.
