The ground and first floors have renewed four-pane sash windows, while the second floor features smaller renewed fixed lights with top-hung casements, all positioned to the left of the door. The roof has swept eaves, a brick chimney, and stone gable coping on the left supported by a moulded kneeler, with a shared brick chimney at the right end with No. 32.
