Single-depth 2-bay end-baffle-entry plan, with added bay set back to left, single storey original porch set back at right end. Two storeys; inserted doorway offset left of centre, to left one 3-light window on each floor with chamfered mullions, to right a stepped triple- light window with chamfered surround and mullions and above this a similar but smaller window with apparently raised sill. Masonry at 1st floor is different and larger, suggesting that walls have been raised. Extension to left in similar materials is probably modern. Single-storey porch to right has stepped triple-light window, modern flat-roofed forward extension to left. Rear has 2-light fire window.
