The front features an undulating Edwardian parapet with three blind arches above plate glass sash windows. The ground floor shop is built of brick with a moulded stone cope to the undulating parapet on the left, and a moulded flat hood above the doorway. A three-light shop window is located to the right of the recessed doorway. The rear of the building is constructed of Westbury brick. The building is listed for group value due to its prominent position.
