It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof. The building has a single-storey, circular plan topped with a steep conical roof that includes alternating bands of different coloured slate and stone eaves.

Inside, the walls are lined with white glazed tiles, and the floor is stone paved, featuring a central circular trap door that leads down to the well below via an iron ladder. There is a fixed sink with a brass tap and a marble top, set within an inlaid wooden frame supported by scrolls. Additionally, a single curved wooden bench with stencilled decoration is present. The roof is supported by 20 chamfered wooden beams, also decorated with stencilling, and is illuminated by the cupola, which has coloured glass panes.
