The second floor mirrors this with three 3/6-pane sash windows. The ground floor features a late 19th century shopfront with a 20th-century hardwood door to the right, and a window with five segmental-headed lights and turned timber mullions. This window has a surround with four-panelled pilaster strips, a frieze, and a moulded cornice running across the building’s width. Heavy carved console brackets flank the shopfront. An entrance to a through-passage to Blackjack Mews is located on the left side of the building. A band course runs over the first floor, and there is a moulded timber eaves cornice.
