It features a construction of flint with red brick dressings, dentil eaves cornices, and verges. The building has red plain tile roofs adorned with patterned ridge tiles and consists of one storey with attics, with the school located at the rear of the house. There are four tall red brick ridge stacks. The windows are casement style, set in segmental arches with mullions, and there are large windows in the school ranges. The street facade includes two two-light casement windows, and the main entrance is characterized by a two-centred arch and a boarded door.
