The symmetrical facade has eight windows on the ground floor and five gabled dormers, all fitted with 2-light casements that include glazing bars. There are five plank doors located under open gabled porches. The building has two red brick ridge stacks and two red brick integral gable end stacks, all of which have decorative brick mouldings. At the rear, there are brick and slate lean-to additions.
