The building is rendered and colorwashed, topped with a Bridgwater patent triple-Roman tile roof that has coped verges and end brick stacks. It stands two storeys high and has four bays with 3-light casements. The door opening is located in the second bay and features a 6-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed and a hood supported by two slender wooden posts. There is a wing at right angles to the rear of the farmhouse.
