A 19th-century shop bay window with a cornice is present in the left-hand ground-floor bay. All other windows are four-pane side-sliding sashes, with stone lintels to those on the ground floor. The right-hand side features a shaped kneeler and stone coping. There are end stacks, plus one stack to the ridge. The building has group value.
