This two-storey, three-bay building features a barge-boarded design and is constructed of stone-cleaned ashlar.

To the right, there is a two-storey canted window that projects from the building. The villa has end stacks and is topped with a slate roof.

The property is complemented by gatepiers that have decorative caps and a low boundary wall that runs along the street.
