The upper-storey windows and the garret window have plain architraves, with sashes that include margin-panes and horns. The plain bargeboards project on scroll-shaped brackets. The rear wall, which is visible from Bideford Bridge, has second-storey sashes with margin-panes and a gable with plain bargeboards. The interior has not been inspected. This building is included for its group value.
