It is symmetrical in design, with two storeys and three bays. The windows are 16-pane sash types set in plain stone surrounds. The central door opening also has a similar stone surround and features a late 19th-century three-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed and a moulded hood supported by cut stone brackets.
