The ground floor includes a modern boarded timber door leading to flats on the left and a modern glazed timber door for the shop, which has a plate glass fanlight and is flanked by modern shop windows. The centre bay above the ground floor is blank, and there is a wallhead stack.

The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing. The front has a broad central wallhead stack, while the rear features a cement rendered wallhead stack.
