The first floor has three vertical sliding sash windows with segmental arches. A similar sash window is located on the ground floor to the left. More recently, two shop windows and a door have been inserted on the ground floor to the right. A two-step approach leads to the two-panel, four-light front door, which has a moulded surround, frieze, and a flat canopy supported by brackets. The date "1784" is inscribed on the right return gable. A rear wing is timber-framed, with sections plastered and sections weatherboarded.
