The first and second floors have 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while the attic features a three-window mansarded dormer. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is an ashlar coped skew at the left gable, along with a coped granite ashlar stack and clay cans.
The interior was partly seen in 2006, with commercial premises located at Nos 16 and 20, while upper floor flats are accessed from No 18.
