The roof has ridge tiles and is half hipped at the ends. A projecting inn sign is displayed on the first floor. The side elevation facing Crown Road includes a large 19th century projecting bay that is one story high, featuring a public house front and windows. The first floor has various 19th century casement windows facing the High Street. Inside, there is much heavy exposed timber, including an inglenook with an old beam, although the brickwork has been renewed.
