Description
The building is a later 19th-century hall with a rectangular plan and two stories. It is constructed from squared and snecked rubble stone, with the eastern side rendered and a shallow eaves cornice.
On the northeast elevation, there are round-arched entrance doors at both the eastern and western ends, featuring 2-pane fanlights. To the left of the eastern door, there is a plain door with a window above it, along with four louvred openings in the wall and four piended dormers that break the pitch of the roof. The southeast elevation has a door to the left, while the rest of the wall is blank, also featuring four piended dormers. The western elevation is a gable end built against the Corner House Hotel block.
The eastern elevation has a platform-roofed extension that advances from the gable end, with four bays. It includes tall round-arched windows on the first floor, three plain windows and two small windows at ground level, as well as a door and an opening to the basement. The eastern elevation features 13-pane timber sash and case round-arched windows and 12-pane plain windows, with modern frosted plate glass in the dormers. The roof is covered with grey slate, has coped stone skews, an ashlar gablehead stack on the western side, a shouldered stack at the center of the eastern elevation, and two square, louvred, timber ventilators on the ridge.
Inside, the central hall has a hammer beam roof with cusped supports and stone corbels. There is a later glazed gallery on the western side and herringbone panels on the ceiling. The ground floor to the west contains several rooms, with a staircase featuring cast-iron banisters leading to further rooms on the eastern side.
The boundary wall to the east forms a courtyard and consists of a surviving rubble stone wall from an older structure, featuring round-arched, keystoned blocked openings to the right of a pier with ashlar dressings.
