The main block is three storeys high and five bays wide, featuring pilasters at each end. It contains glazing bar sash windows, with a single 20th-century casement window on the ground floor to the right. A 20th-century panelled door is set within a projecting porch supported by Tuscan columns. A single-bay, rendered wing extends to the right. The north wing is two storeys high and has three glazing bar sash windows. A 20th-century flight of stairs provides access to the first-floor flats.
