The roof is covered with old tiles and has end stacks. The building has two storeys and five bays, with glazing bar sash windows. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door with a rectangular overlight that has wrought iron decoration. The doorcase is adorned with Doric pilasters that support a triangular pediment, which slightly breaks forward at the centre. To the right, there is a single-storey 19th-century addition made of red brick, topped with a hipped tile roof and featuring a large cross window.
