It is constructed of local lias stone that has been cut and squared, and it features a clay pantiled roof with plain verges and brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high with an attic and consists of a single bay. It has side margined plain sash windows, with the lower window set under a dovetailed stone lintel.

The interior has not been seen. Church Cottage is part of a varied row of buildings that contribute positively to the streetscape.
