Woodbine Cottage is a single-storey, three-bay classical cottage built around 1820, featuring a piend roof and a later wing to the south. The cottage is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with rusticated ashlar quoins. The front has architraved windows and a door, while the sides and rear are made of random rubble. The eaves cornice and blocking course are raised at the center.

The boundary wall surrounding the property is a high coursed rubble wall topped with arched coping.
