The structure has two storeys with an attic and a rear outshut. The front includes two symmetrical shop windows and a central door framed by a late 19th-century architrave. To the north, there is a side passage with a panelled door and a rectangular fanlight. The building has two flush-framed hung sash windows without glazing bars, as well as a six-paned hung sash dormer window and a single-light window to the south.
