The building has two storeys with an attic and consists of two bays. Notable architectural details include two bands of lozenge mouldings positioned below the ground floor and above the first floor windows, as well as at the top gable. The corners are accentuated with rusticated quoins, and there is a central pilaster above the entrance. The windows are framed with rusticated architraves, with most being three-light recessed-chamfered-mullioned windows that have small-paned casements, although some have been replaced. The attic contains two pointed lights. The ground floor windows have a sill course that is interrupted by a lintel above the entrance, which features a 20th-century door. A plaque that has been re-set is inscribed with "WINSTANLEY/ESTATE/OFFICE/1884".

On the left return, there is a trefoil-headed window with shafts, a moulded arch, and decorative glazing. A rear lateral stack is present. This building is included for its group value.
