It features painted roughcast walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof and a brick chimney stack. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and consists of two bays, including a corner shop that has two bays extending onto Nook Street.
The entrance to No. 3 is a panelled door with an overlight, set in a painted stone surround and accessed by three steps. The building has sash windows with glazing bars, all framed in painted stone surrounds. The shop area includes a corner entrance with an early 20th-century top-glazed door and an overlight, also in a painted stone surround, beneath a broad 19th-century stucco name panel that wraps around the side walls. Both sides of the shop feature early 19th-century bowed shop windows with glazing bars set in moulded wooden surrounds. Additionally, there are sash windows with glazing bars and an attic loading door facing Jane Street, all in painted stone surrounds.
