It is constructed of red brick and features three storeys. The main block has seven timber casement windows and a central stucco projecting porch that includes a four-centred door with a lion crest above it.

To the left, there is a recessed wing with one window and another wing beyond it. All windows in the wings have drip moulds and are designed with mullion and transom casements. The roof is covered with slate.
