Rendered front and left side walls facing King Street, probably part solid and part timber-framed; painted stone rubble rear wall facing public alleyway. Slated roof. Red-brick chimney on right gable-end.

Three storeys with garret and basement, the latter (because of the sloping site) opening directly on to the alleyway.

Ground storey has a pair of six-panelled doors enclosed in a single doorcase with flanking pilasters and entablatures. Window with C20 louvre to right. To left a twenty-paned fixed sash window with door immediately to its right, the latter having four flush panels. Upper-storey windows have eight-paned sashes. Rounded left side wall has eighteen-paned fixed sash window to left; entablature above with panelled frieze. Blocked doorway to right with flanking pilasters and entablature. Barred sash-windows above: six over six panes in second storey, eight over eight panes in third storey. Rear wall has barred sashes and small-paned wood casements. Two gabled dormers. A Francis Frith photograph of 1922 shows this as the New Quay Inn, the rounded corner tile-hung.
