A parapet features blank shields. There are six mullioned or mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights, some featuring curved heads. An off-centre oriel window extends through two floors. The building incorporates four pilasters and a plinth. The ground floor has two segmental-arched windows with moulded voussoirs and two segmental-arched doorcases with fanlights. The post office forms a group with numbers 25 to 29 and associated cottages located to the southwest of the main Eastbridge Hospital Building.
