The building has two storeys and attics, with a modillion eaves cornice. The front facing South Street includes one range of 19th-century sash windows, a 1930s shopfront, and two 20th-century casements with lead glazing bars. There is one attic dormer that has a hipped tile roof, tile-hung cheeks, and a sash window with glazing bars. On the corner with East Street, there is a carved entablature from a blocked door, featuring a ball-dentilled cornice and lozenges at either end of the frieze. The East Street front has two 19th-century sashes on the first floor and three modern casements, along with a modern door that has an oblong fanlight set within a mid-19th-century surround, which includes two panelled pilasters and elaborate cut brackets supporting a flat hood.
