It is built of brick with limestone ashlar, features party wall stacks, and has a pantile roof. The house has a double-depth plan and is designed in a mid-Georgian style. It stands three storeys tall and has a two-window range. The exterior includes rusticated quoin strips leading to a coped parapet. The right-hand doorway features a semicircular arch with a key and imposts, topped with a cornice, and contains a six-panel door. There is a canted timber bay with pilaster jambs and a cornice, and the windows have segmental-arched heads with five stepped voussoirs, holding 6/6-pane sashes. The interior has been completely rebuilt. Additionally, there are attached steel spear-headed front area railings.
