It has a flat projecting eaves line and gutter, and a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate. The facade is laid out with three widely spaced windows, with a slight recess in the centre.

The first floor contains three splayed, projecting bay windows with flat, leaded roofs and plastered soffits. The central bay window sits on a projecting entablature above the central shop window on the ground floor. The bay windows have stuccoed fronts and contain non-opening windows with glazing bars and side casements. The second floor has three sash windows with glazing bars, each with a flat stuccoed arch above. A further three similar sash windows are present on the third floor.
