It features four window sashes with glazing bars, although some are blank. The stucco front includes three-light sash windows set in recesses with elliptical heads on the ground floor.

There are contemporary cast iron gates, and the courtyard has a notable external stairway with a cast iron balustrade leading to a first-floor doorway that has a canopy supported by brackets. The windows at the back of the post office are curved in plan.
