The building is two storeys high with attics, and has three windows on the first floor and a two-window range at the rear. The main range has quoins at the corners, and the central entrance includes a 20th-century door with an overlight. The ground and first floors have 6/6 sash windows set in elliptically-arched surrounds. The roof dormers contain casement windows and decorative barge-boards. There is a rear left stack and a large external stack on the extension, while the rear range mainly features 6/6 sash windows.

Historically, this building was likely a merchant's house with associated workshops.
