The building is constructed of white-painted brick and features a slate roof. It has an irregular plan with the main range parallel to the street and back extensions. The structure is two storeys high and has a total of four windows on the front.

There is another doorway further to the right with a deeply-recessed door. On the first floor, there are two windows with raised sills and wedge lintels; one is a 16-pane sash window, while the other has altered glazing.
