The front door has a square-head architrave with a triangular pediment supported by moulded brackets. To the left of the door is a flush sash window with four lights, and to the right is a modern casement window. Above, on the first floor, are two sash windows with four lights, which are flush-mounted. A multi-paned shop casement is on the right-hand side, featuring a radiused corner.
