The building presents a gable end to the street, featuring barge boarding. A central doorway is now fitted with a 20th-century door and rectangular overlight. Either side of the doorway are single, two-light chamfered concave mullioned casements, with two similar windows above; all openings are topped with painted brick dripmoulds. The side elevation includes a block doorway and two glazing bar sashes.
