The building is two storeys high and features a three-window range with a central entrance that has an added porch. The ground floor has 12-pane sash windows with wide splayed heads, while the central upper window is blind. There are end wall stacks in the hipped roof. To the right, there is a lower hipped roofed block that was originally a workshop but is now part of the house. The architect of the armoury was James Wyatt.
