The building has two storeys and a cellar, with a three-window range consisting of 2/2 sash windows that have cambered heads in moulded stone architraves. The eaves are supported by stone brackets. The central entrance is marked by a portico that includes an entablature and balustrade, supported by plain and fluted columns. The entrance features a six-fielded panel door with a blocked overlight, flanked by 2/2 sash windows that have moulded hoods on scrolled consoles. The exterior is finished with quoins and a moulded plinth.
