It is two storeys high and has a rendered exterior with a gable-ended slate roof and no visible chimneys. The building features a five-window range, with sash windows that include glazing bars. On the upper floor to the right, there are two blind windows flanking a large casement window.

To the right of the entrance is a pilastered shop front topped with an entablature, although the glazing bars are missing. The centre and left of the façade are adorned with giant plain pilasters.
