There is a T-plan front range of two storeys, with a three-windowed front with a central gabled projection which includes a recessed porch and window above. This porch has an elliptical arch and a half glazed doror within, and has patterned tracery to the overlight.

The windows are all iron-traceried, mullion and transom type, the tracery being in elongated hexagons with a lozenge row between. the openings have stone voussoirs and slate sills.

Internally the cottage is said to retain stairs with square cut balusters on a cut string with shaped brackets, marble mantels and wide-baorded doors.
