The two-storey, four-bay front has heavy, irregular small framing, with some sections rendered at ground floor level. The ground floor windows are enlarged, while the upper floor has three-light casement windows. A four-panelled door is located in the second bay. A wooden board bearing the inscription “HLL 1601” is mounted on the front of the building.
