It has two storeys and three bays, with the outer bays consisting of two-storey bay windows. The ground floor has large pane sash windows, while the first floor has glazing bar sash windows. In the center, there is a six-panel door set within a doorcase that includes pilasters and a flat hood. The property is said to have a late 18th-century staircase.
