It features a thatched roof covered with tin sheeting and has brick chimneys at both ends. The front entrance includes a half-glazed panelled door, with one casement window to the left and two to the right.

The left end bay is open to the rafters, which likely indicates that it was originally built as a croglofft. Access to the attic bedrooms is provided by separate ladder-stairs.
