It features rendered walls and a slate roof, with a gable at the east end that has moulded brick coping and a brick stack. The building is two storeys with attics. The ground floor has a 19th-century shop front set within a classical surround. On the first floor, there is one double-hung sash window with glazing bars in the upper sash.
