It is two storeys tall with attics and has a band between the floors. Each gable end has one horizontal sliding sash window with glazing bars in the attic storey. The first floor has a range of four hung sash windows with side lights, while the ground floor features paired full-length similar sashes with slender glazing bars set in cambered arches. There is a 19th-century central boric portico with a triangular pediment and a slate roof, along with 19th-century panelled double doors. To the right, there is a 19th-century service wall with blind panelling.
