A wide flight of steps leads to the entrance, which is located in the left return of the projecting gabled bay that has a black rendered basement. There is a shop in the left return basement and a storeroom beneath the stairs, with a 12-pane sash window above.

The gable end features 4-pane sashes and a stone chimney at the peak. The left bay has 16-pane sashes and a brick end chimney. The right extension is three storeys high with two windows and is rendered. The entrance door has three vertical panels arranged in a 3+3 configuration, and there are 2-3, 3-, and 2-light public house windows to the right. On the first floor, there are two canted oriel windows with altered glazing, and on the second floor, there are 4-pane sashes.
