The building stands three storeys high and has three windows, which are fitted with unbarred sash frames beneath splayed heads. The entrance consists of a six-panel door that is topped by a transom light with interlaced tracery, all set within a decorated doorcase that includes a triglyph frieze and panelled returns on the jambs. The rear of the property mirrors the front, showcasing a similar modillion cornice and a deep projecting semi-circular bay.
