Located on the south side of Frog Lane (B 5069) in its own garden and set back from the road behind a low brick wall with iron gate and stone piers.

Exterior
Rectangular single storey cottage, plus attic, of red brick with yellow brick and stone dressings under slate roof. Central brick chimney stack with dressings. Two Victorian Jacobethan style windows with stone hood moulds, and lozenge-paned leading. Three-lights to the left, single light to the right. Further attic window to each gable end. Modern door.
