The building has two storeys and a cellar, with a two-window range. The mid-19th-century windows are 2/2 sashes set under segmental arches and have wooden awnings. A brick modillion cornice runs along the parapet. The late 19th-century shop front includes an entrance to the right, featuring a part-glazed two-panel door with a leaded overlight. The shop window has moulded glazing bars and leaded clerestory lights, along with a moulded fascia-board and hood.

Inside, there is a 19th-century stick baluster staircase leading to the first floor. The first floor has an exposed part ceiling frame and wall cupboards, along with unhung panelled doors.

There is a wing at the rear with another 19th-century stick baluster staircase leading to the second floor, which also contains wall cupboards.
