The building has two storeys, a low plinth, and a moulded brick eaves cornice. The front facade is symmetrical with three windows, which are tall casements set in segment-headed surrounds. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door within an arched surround, flanked by reeded pilasters that support volute brackets and a cornice hood. Above the door is a Gothic glazed fanlight.
