The building is three storeys tall, with a central ground floor doorcase that has a triangular pediment supported by consoles.

The front has three window bays, each with architraves, bracketed sills, an entablature, and a flat cornice, and the windows are fitted with margin-glazed sashes. At the back, there is a wing that connects to the North Wilts Bacon Factory, which is not included in this listing.
