It is two storeys tall and has a symmetrical design. The central round-headed doorway is adorned with a leaded fan and panelled reveals, framed by enriched pilasters and an architrave. On the first floor, there are three 19th century sash windows with rubbed brick lintels. The exterior is finished with a rosette and modillion cornice, topped by a cement parapet. Inside, the rear ground floor room reveals exposed early 17th century timber framing.
