The roof is of low pitch, covered in slate, with projecting eaves.

The front of the building has four windows, with two arranged in a bow on the south side. The upper windows are sash windows without glazing bars, except for those in the basement. All windows have architrave surrounds and block sills. A blind window is positioned above the doorway on the first floor. The recessed front door has panelled detailing and a semi-circular fanlight. A rendered porch has been built out, featuring a barrel-vaulted roof covered in leadwork. The porch has later double panelled doors and a semi-circular fanlight with radial glazing bars, flanked by pilasters with incised panels showing a Greek key pattern, topped by an architrave. Steps lead to the front door, with rendered parapets on capped piers.

The building forms a group with numbers 4 to 9 on Vernon Square.
