It has two storeys and three bays. The central entrance features a six-panel door topped with a fanlight containing glazing bars. The door is sheltered by a doorcase with attached Tuscan columns supporting a frieze and a hood. The ground floor has canted bays with sash windows. The first floor has 12-pane sashes beneath wedge lintels and with ashlar sills. A modillion eaves band runs along the roofline. The house has ashlar kneelers and end stacks.
