Designed in the Venetian Gothic style, it features yellow brick with stone dressings and stands four storeys high with an attic. The façade has a three-five-three bay arrangement, with the side bays set forward and a central entrance. It includes pointed two-light windows with engaged columns between them and oriel windows on the first floor. There are decorative bands at each floor level, bracketted eaves, a tiled roof, and gabled dormers. The side wings are one storey taller, and the west wing on Beaumont Street is a modern extension. Inside, there is a notable staircase. The listed buildings along Beaumont Street collectively contribute to the area's historical significance.
