The building is topped with a stone moulded eaves cornice and a roof covered in double roman tiles. There is a thin moulded string course above the first floor. The late 19th century shop front includes a recessed central entrance and an overall fascia with modillions at the fascia cornice. A lead rainwater pipe with a conical head is located to the right. The rear of the building features timber lintels and an attic mansard, along with a two-storey brick extension. Inside, there are remains of panelling on the second floor, and a cellar and well below. Nos 13 to 18 Fore Street form a group, with No 18 being of local interest.
