The main southwest elevation includes a central door with a cast-iron balustrade above, flanked by bipartite windows that have a cornice supported by console brackets. The first floor has windows that are symmetrically arranged. The villa is fitted with four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring a piend and platformed design, along with lead flashings. There are corniced sandstone wallhead stacks with octagonal cans.
The interior was not seen in 1993.
