This is an 18th century fisherman's cottage, originally single-storey and two bays wide. The exterior is white-painted harl with black margins. It features a door on the left side and a small sash window with a 12-pane glazing pattern to the left of the door. The roof is covered with renewed red pantiles that have a slightly swept profile, and the eaves are very low. A large, harled shoulder stack is located on the right side. It is depicted on the Ordnance Survey Map of Haddingtonshire from 1854.
