Steeply-pitched roof has small square banded left end chimney, and corniced chimneys at right of first bay and at right end. Rear stair wing shows broad glazing bars and bullion glass in return on upper flight.

Interior-shows Teesdale 'marble' plain corniced chimney piece with cast iron fire surround in rococo style, and Regency fluted inner panels, in principal first-floor room; open well stair with boxed-in balustrade; rear and left side doors at end of central passage have patterned fanlights. Partition wall between this and No. 4 at left is very thin, suggesting that at least the Left bay was formerly part of the adjoining house. Second floor may be an addition, but stucco obscures detail.
