The structure is designed in the Gothic style and consists of two storeys with a two-window range. The first floor has paired windows with shouldered heads, while lancet windows are located above, all featuring original 2-pane horned sashes. The ground floor boasts an original double shop front with end columns and a central doorway that includes quadrant lights. There is another doorway on the right with a 6-panel door and an overlight with margin panes. The interior has not been inspected.
