The street-facing facade has an off-centre flush reeded doorcase with a glazing bar overlight and a six-panelled door with a rubbed brick head. This door is flanked by single glazing bar sash windows, with the left window having a rubbed brick head, and a single Yorkshire sash window to the right. Above the door, there is an off-centre Yorkshire sash flanked by single glazing bar sashes, and in the left gable, there is a blank panel with a rubbed brick head.
The rear facade features a 20th-century brick porch with a pantile roof and a glazing bar door in the re-entrant angle. To the left, there are one three-light and one two-light Yorkshire sash with segmental heads, and above to the left, there is a 20th-century glazing bar casement, with a Yorkshire sash to the right. The right wing has a single 20th-century three-light glazing bar casement, and above it, to the left, there is a glazing bar fixed light and to the right, a single glazing bar sash. The right gable has a 20th-century two-light casement on each floor.
Inside, there is one Adam style cast-iron grate and surround.
