The house is constructed of red brick with painted stucco detailing, and has a hipped roof covered in plain clay tiles. Brick stacks are visible on the right-hand return, with the front stack featuring an oversailing detail. The original entrance is located on the centre left-hand return and is accessed via a door to the right of No. 3. The house is three stories high, with a cellar and attic. It has two windows on the first floor. Stucco detailing includes sills and a moulded eaves band. The returns are detailed with a dentilled brick eaves band. First-floor windows are 6/6 sashes, and second-floor windows are 3/3 sashes, all set in plain reveals and with sills and flat, gauged brick arches. A shopfront was installed in the mid-to-late 20th century. The interior has not been inspected.
