The building is timber framed with clay lump infill on a brick base, and has a hipped pantiled roof. The long front elevation has three window bays. It is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are three entrances, the central one containing a part-glazed boarded door and flanked by 20th-century porches. To the left are two two-light glazing bar casements, and to the right are three 20th-century three-light glazing bar casements. The first floor has three long, part-opening glazing bar casements. The rear of the building features two external brick stacks, with double offsets to tall caps and relieving arches. The interior was not inspected.
