The front facade is two storeys high with three windows, extending into one bay of a taller two-storey house to the right.

Recessed sash windows with glazing bars and stone sills are present on both floors; the ground floor window of the house to the right has louvred shutters. The left return side features a two-storey canted bay window, two French windows, and recessed sash windows.
Inside, there is a six-panel door, panelled shutters to the sash windows, and a staircase with a curtail step and cut and bracketed string.
