The northern part of the building is from the late 18th or early 19th century, constructed of red brick with a coped parapet and a hipped, old tiled roof. There is a stucco band below the parapet and at the first-floor sill height. This section also has three storeys and a basement, with two windows on each floor that feature sashes with painted reveals and glazing bars. On the south side, there is a round arched door with a stucco arch, a radial fanlight, and a six-panelled door, of which the top two panels are now glazed. The building is part of a group that includes Nos 45, 45A, and 47, as well as Nos 53 to 81 (odd), Nos 44 to 52 (even) opposite, and No 2 New Street.
