Tile roof, rubble ridge stack and projecting rubble end stack to east. Large rubble gable porch with arched entry and wall benches. Ovolo-moulded door frame, boarded door. Mainly C19/C20 small-paned casement windows to front including three gabled eaves dormers. In the rear wall are two ovolo-moulded mullion windows, one now blocked.  

Good period features including exposed beams, post and panel screen dividing two westerly rooms and square-panel timber framed partition wall between the lower hall and two end rooms.
