The building is a wooden structure approximately 24' by 34' with one story 8' high, a round roof about 6' high and a sun porch design that is quite unique and beautiful in its simplicity. The "round" roof is unique and is one of only two left standing in the community. The other building is a two-storey house located in Puncheon Cove, a small deserted fishing village just one kilometer southeast of the Town of Change Islands. The cottage was restored in 2004 by Stages and Stores, Inc. and the Stages and Stores Heritage Foundation.

The Torraville Cottage (vacation home), centrally located with a commanding view of the Main Tickle of Change Islands, is available for rent weekly and monthly starting in the summer, 2005. For further information about renting this property please see the Rental Properties section.
