The main facade has a three window range of casements under cambered arches to the first floor with two similar windows flanking an entrance porch on the ground floor. The porch is built of rubble with a gabled tiled roof with decorative bargeboards and a wooden finial. The entrance is via a cambered rubble arch. It is similar to porches on estate cottages in Laxton and those built as a part of the Laxton estate.
