The building includes sash windows that have glazing bars. The main two-storey block is topped with a turret that has louvred sides and a wrought iron weather vane. There is also a one-storey front wing that has projecting eaves and dummy round headed arcades with imposts, along with some round arched windows that have glazing bars radiating to the arches.
