The ground floor has a 19th century shop front with windows and a door divided by moulded stone pilasters, along with a moulded stone cornice and stall risers. On the first floor, there are three double-hung sash windows and one blocked window. The second floor has three double-hung sash windows with glazing bars and one blocked window. The return wall facing Maxwells Lane includes one double-hung sash window with glazing bars on the second floor. There is a rear wing that extends into Maxwells Lane, which may have originally been a separate house. This wing also has Purbeck Stone walls, a slate roof, and a brick stack, and is two storeys tall. The ground floor of the wing has a door and two windows, one being a casement and the other fixed. The first floor has one casement window. Somerleigh House is an important building in the street.
