The building features a plinth, bands at the first and second floors, rebated eaves, and has two ridge and external lateral brick stacks. It is three storeys high and has a square plan with two bays.
The west front has a slightly off-centre 20th century glazed door with a segmental head, which is flanked by single 20th century bow windows. Above the door, there are two 20th century two-light casements, and above those, two smaller 19th century two-light casements.
On the south side, there is a mid 20th century round-cornered bay window to the left and a four-light 20th century casement to the right. Above these, there is a tall central cross casement, flanked on the left by a three-light sliding sash and on the right by a three-light casement, all with segmental heads. Above again, there are two 20th century casements.
