The windows are recessed sash windows, some with glazing bars, set within flat, gauged arches. A plat band defines the top of the ground floor stuccowork. The building is finished with a crowning stucco cornice and blocking course. A continuous cast iron balcony with a lattice pattern is present on the first floor, and cast iron area railings are topped with acorn finials. The house has group value as part of the Montagu-Bryanston Square development.
