It has sash windows with glazing bars and a mid-19th century wooden shop front on the left side, indicating its use as a Post Office. The central entrance is arched and includes a radial bar fanlight above a six-panel door, with a French casement window to the right. All the listed buildings in The Quay are part of a group.
