The front has five windows, with doors located in the extreme left bay and the second from the right, along with three segmental-arched two-light casements on the ground floor. The first-floor windows consist of one and two lights. The roof is half hipped to the left and includes a large clustered stack positioned to the left of centre. The left gable wall features additional arched windows and an attic window, along with a further range at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
