The building has a lobby entry plan and an irregular two-storey front with four bays. The entrance is off centre and consists of a half-glazed door that is sheltered by a 20th-century rustic thatched porch. To the left of the door are two glazing bar sash windows, while to the right is a single similar window. On the first floor, there are two margin light sashes and a small fixed light. To the left, there is a lower blank narrow addition with a slate roof.
