The house is built of slate rubble and whitewashed, with a slate roof with wide eaves and verges. Two storeys, 2 bays, with a central recessed door and 12-pane sash windows, each provided in the C20 with false louvred shutters. Gable end stacks. The street gable end has similar windows lighting the rear rooms.
