The exterior features exposed stone rubble with ashlar surrounds to the windows and doors, an ashlar band, and an eaves course. The first floor has raised ashlar vertical margins at the arris.

On the west (principal) elevation, there is a central door flanked by single windows on the ground floor, with a band course at lintel level. Above, three first-floor windows are centered and closely hug the eaves. The north elevation is plain, while the east elevation includes a bipartite window on the far left and a window on the right flank, with a door to the right and single flanking windows. There is a bipartite window on the first floor to the far left, a window to the right, and another bipartite window on the far right. The south elevation features a plain gable with a blocked first-floor window to the left.

The house has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a timber door with a fanlight, and a pitched roof covered with clay pantiles. The gable ends have corniced stacks. The interior was not seen in 2001.

Additionally, there is a low rubble garden wall that borders Little Causeway and turns southeast, featuring a central wooden garden gate.
