It features a stone band at the level of the first floor window cills and a small moulded stone cornice below the parapet. The building has five windows, with one on each floor being blocked. The two easternmost windows on the second floor have small wrought-iron balconies. There are three round-headed doorways, each with stone imposts, metal fanlights, and flush panelled doors. Additionally, there are five flat-topped dormers.
