The house itself is a 1 storey two-room cottage, with a sleeping loft above. In the main storey (6.5 x 4 metres) there is a living-room and kitchen, with an entrance porch in front. There are steep stairs up from the kitchen to the loft, as was usual in two-room cottages in Northern Norway. The house itself is made from cog-jointed timber and the exterior is clad with vertical panelling, while the porch extension is half-timbered. There is a low cellar space under the house and the ground-wall is a double wall made of granite boulders with an insulating layer of earth in-between. There is a gable roof on the building, which is now roofed with felt

it was turfed until 1954. The house has two gable windows, with three panes in each frame. Inside there are wooden floorboards, single panel doors and unfinished timber walls, aside from the kitchen, which is partially panelled.
