It stands three storeys tall with five bays on the south elevation, which includes flat-headed sash windows with glazing bars.

The east elevation has three bays, with the centre section projecting forward and topped by a pediment that contains a large circular window in the tympanum. The second floor has flat-headed sashes, while the first floor features round-headed windows, including an attractive Venetian window set in a shallow arched recess at the centre. The ground floor has a flat-headed triple-light window in the centre, with shallow semi-circular headed recesses on each side.
