The entrance includes a six flush-panelled door with a triangular fanlight above. The roof is slate with a gabled design and a moulded stone eaves cornice. The building has painted brick fronts and a colour washed stone basement. Ospringe House is part of a group with Nos 8 to 12 (even) and the western range of No 16 (Hunt's Dairies), along with the North wing of Digby Estate Office on Cheap Street.
