It is two storeys high with pebbledashed walling and features moulded parapet copings and end pilasters. The roof is a modern double-saddle hipped design covered with pantiles. The front has three windows, which are glazing bar sashes set in reveals with flat heads that have projecting stepped voussoirs. There is a central arched doorway with a fanlight above it. The ground floor has a later addition of a glazed-tile dado. To the right, there is a single-storey extension with one window and an arched doorway that includes a keystone and imposts. Above the doorway, there is a shaped and moulded panel for an inn-sign.
