It is constructed with a timber frame and has a plastered exterior, topped with a red plain tiled roof. The building features a moulded eaves cornice and a large central chimney stack made of red brick with a square base. It stands two storeys tall with attics and has a three-window range of 19th-century vertically sliding sash windows. The ground floor left window consists of two light corner shop windows, which have a reeded corner post and moulded surrounds. There is a two-panelled door with four lights, flanked by fluted pilasters, a moulded frieze, and a small flat dentilled and moulded canopy. To the left side, there is a single-storey rear wing that has off-centre boarded double doors and two windows with vertical glazing bars.
