The cottage is a single storey with an attic and has two bays on the ground floor. The ground floor windows are modern three-light transomed casements, while the first floor has a single two-light wooden-mullioned window, which is glazed with an iron casement and has an eyebrow eaves detail above it. There is a central door opening into a through passage, with a roughcast porch that has a bonnet hood and a ribbed door. To the left side of the cottage, there is a two-light wooden-mullioned window. Inside, there is a large fireplace with a wooden bressumer and an adjacent winder staircase.
