Above, there are 8/4 sash windows and a coved cornice at the eaves. The ground floor has two 20th-century shop fronts, with a 20th-century door on the left, set beneath an earlier overlight with glazing bars, in a plain case with a frieze and a hood that extends to the right.
On the right side, there are two 18th-century 6/6 sash windows and two 20th-century sashes, all under segmental arches, with a storey band.

Inside, there is a 19th-century dogleg staircase with turned balusters and a moulded rail leading to the first floor, and a winder stair with stick balusters and a swan-neck rail leading to the second floor. The second floor includes 6- and 4-panel doors with architraves, a 2-panel door, an overlight, a 19th-century fireplace, and architraves around the windows.
