The roof is covered with red plain tiles and has three gabled dormers with decorative bargeboards. There are red brick chimney stacks on the right and left, which have gault dressings, rusticated bases, and octagonal shafts. The building is two storeys high with attics and has a three-window range of casements that include transoms and drip hoods above, all with chamfered brick surrounds. The corners of the building are accentuated with gault rusticated quoins. The entrance features a four-panelled door set within a rusticated surround that includes a keystone. Inside, the timber frame is exposed.
