The windows are 12-pane sashes set within moulded architraves. The central doorcase has architraved surrounds and an open pediment above a boarded fanlight incorporating a Gothick motif. The front door is 6-panelled. The rear gable is weatherboarded and features leaded casements in the attic storey and part of the first floor. Internally, substantial remains of exposed timber framing are present.
