The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door set in panelled reveals, topped by a flat wooden hood supported on brackets. On either side of the door is a 12-pane sash window with a segmental head, and there is a 20th-century door to the right. The first floor has two flush 12-pane sash windows. The eaves are deep. The interior has not been inspected.
