The central entrance features a glazed door within a panelled doorcase, framed by a reeded architrave with corner blocks and a moulded flat hood. Recessed bow windows have been added in the 20th century on either side. The first floor has three altered eight-pane sash windows, while the second floor retains three original twelve-pane sashes. Chimneys are located at the ends of the building. An external walkway leads to the rear of the building from the left-hand corner. The building is included on the list primarily for its group value.
