The ground floor has a cornice, while the first floor features a sill course, a top frieze, a cornice, and a parapet. Most of the first-floor windows have architraves and friezes, and are sashed with glazing bars. The ground floor includes eight large entrances with folding doors set between Doric antae, along with a small blocked window in the end bay. The domestic block has the first bay projecting forward under a gable with a top segmental pediment. The ground floor features paired segmental-headed windows that are sashed with glazing bars, and the entrance to the right has paired windows on the first floor with a two-light attic window above.
