The building is adorned with a moulded stone cornice at both the front and rear, along with ashlar gable parapets that have kneelers. There are brick stacks at the ends of the building. The rear side includes two three-light casement windows with wooden mullions and transoms, set under stone lintels with keyblocks. Additionally, there is a two-storey, canted stone bay window and a porch from the 19th century.
