The house follows a two-unit lobby-entry plan. It has two storeys and a three-window front. The central entrance is a six-panel door set within a 19th-century lattice porch. There are 12-pane unhorned sash windows to the left and right, and a blind recessed panel on the first floor centre. A 9-pane unhorned sash window is on the left and a 12-pane unhorned sash window on the right. The interior remains unexamined.
The 19th-century addition to the right is of red brick in Flemish bond and has a 20th-century plain-tile roof. It is two storeys high with a single-window front. On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century shop front with a part-glazed four-panel door to the left. A four-pane horned sash window is on the first floor.
