The window arrangement is two-by-one, with tripartite sash windows on the right and casement windows on the left. A 20th-century double shopfront is on the ground floor to the right, with a central glazed door set within it. A late 19th-century double shopfront is on the left, featuring colonette framing and a boarded door. A panelled door is located on the left side, incorporating a glazed upper pair of panels. Inside, heavy timber framing is visible on the ground floor to the left, along with exposed joists and beams. Note: a modern door, consisting of a stable half and half door, has been added.
