EXTERIOR: three storeys with a symmetrical three bay front with giant corner pilasters; cornice, parapet and string course at first floor window cill level. Ground and first floor have twelve pane sashes, second floor have nine pane sashes with a tall eighteen pane stair window at the centre of the first floor over central doorway with small flanking window to the right.

SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: a pair of Bath stone shallow vases with mask ornament flank the door openings.
