The eastern elevation is made of red brick, while the northern elevation features yellow stock brick. It has a slate roof and includes three 8/8-pane sash windows on the upper floor on both sides. The northern elevation has gauged brick lintels over the door and windows, with the door featuring an architrave surround and an echinus-moulded hood-cornice supported by scrolled brackets. There is also an 8/8-pane sash window on the ground floor. The building has a continuous flat modillioned eaves cornice with paired scroll brackets. The front shop has been modernized.
