The ground floor is cement rendered, while the first floor features flint facing with brick quoins and a tiled roof. The front elevation showcases a curved gable with one round window and one round-headed sash window, along with a stringcourse. The ground floor includes arcading with keystones, with the central section forming a doorcase. There are sash windows throughout. The south portion of the building is two storeys, also cement rendered, with a dropped moulded eaves cornice, three blank spaces on the first floor, and five sash windows on the ground floor.
