The building features a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with red plain tiled roofs. There are two main ranges, one of which has a return to Spring Road and is gabled to Clacton Road, along with a single-storey extension.

The building stands two storeys high with attics.

The face of the building on Spring Road has three 20th-century two-light casement windows on the first floor, with a ground floor featuring a 20th-century left bay and right shop window, along with a door next to the bay. On the Clacton Road side, there are 20th-century attic and first-floor windows on the right range. The left range features an angled bay oriel with small-paned vertically sliding sash windows on the first floor, below which is a 20th-century shop door, flanked by shop windows on the right and left. The right extension includes two 20th-century windows and a central door.
