Octagonal corner pilasters topped with crenellated finials add to its distinctive character. The side elevation facing the street includes two pointed arched windows, which are adorned with thick, intricate curvilinear wood glazing bars. The chimney shafts are grouped diagonally opposed. Gothic House is part of a group that includes Nos 1 to 12 (consecutive) and the Lamorna Public House.
