The front is faced with cobbles, accented with long and short red brick dressings and quoins. It has an eaves cornice and a slate roof, with intact glazing bars. A doorway features a flat hood supported by brackets, leading to double doors of six fielded panels. A curved bay window is located on the ground floor to the north of the doorway.
