The building is constructed of rubblestone, with a stuccoed south front featuring rusticated quoins. It has a slate roof with gabled ends and overhanging eaves, along with brick stacks in the gable ends. The ground floor plan has been altered, and there is a passageway leading to a rear alley. The building has three storeys and a regular three-window front. The ground floor features a large late 20th-century glazed shop front, with a passageway to the right.

The sashes do not have horns and are made with crown glass. The interior has not been inspected, and the building is included for its group value.
