It features 16-pane sash windows, with the ground floor windows having decorative blind boxes. A central wooden fluted Doric porch with pilaster responds supports an entablature with a dentil-moulded cornice, which leans slightly to the left. The entrance includes a six-panel door topped with an Adam-style fanlight.
