The south-west elevation is two storeys high and has three windows. The first floor includes 12-pane sash windows. On the ground floor, there is a central doorway with a bracketed cornice, leading to a 6-panelled door with a shallow rectangular overlight, flanked by French casements.

The rear elevation features two large dormer windows and a round-headed staircase window. Inside, there are simple late Georgian details in the entrance hall and shutters on the ground floor front windows.
