It has a chamfered plinth and eaves, a first-floor band, and coped gables with kneelers.

The east front, facing James Street, has a central panelled door flanked by three-light cross mullioned windows, all set beneath a cornice with a patterned tile frieze. Above the door is a plain sash window. To the right, there is a rounded bay window that rises three storeys, topped with a conical roof and featuring a three-light mullioned window on each floor. To the left, there are two plain sash windows, and above them is a canted stone oriel window with three lights, supported by corbels and also topped with a conical roof.
On the south gable, which faces Eastgate, there is a canted bay window with a parapet and an iron crest, situated above a double sash window with a cornice.
