It has two storeys and three bays, with three small 4-pane horned sash windows located under the eaves. On the ground floor, there is a pair of plate glass sashes to the left and a horned 8-pane sash window to the right of a central 4-panel door. The windows have stone sills and stucco shouldered surrounds. The east end wall is roughcast, and there is an outshut at the rear with a cemented slate roof and a gable on the roof slope to the right.

The shop to the left of the house shares the same roof height and is constructed of whitewashed roughcast in two bays. It features a 12-pane horned long sash window on the first floor, positioned left of centre, and a square opening with five vertical panes on the extreme right. The ground floor has a boarded door on the left and a small recessed shop front on the right, which includes a half-glazed door and a fixed 4-pane shop window. Additionally, there is a large rubble stone lean-to on the left end with boarded garage doors.

A stub wall extends forward from the left end of the shop, ending in a grey limestone arched niche at ground level, which has a stringcourse above and a half-round capstone. The interior has not been inspected.
