The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked stugged sandstone, with the rear being harled. The building has projecting cills and bipartite windows in the central bay on the first, second, and third floors. The two outer bays on the left and right have segmental dormerheads that break the eaves, while the center bay features a pedimented dormerhead.
Access to the building is through a timber panelled door leading to a close, which provides entry to an open stair. The rear of the property includes concrete access decks supported by cast-iron brackets and railings, along with timber panelled doors leading to the flats. The rear wing features a curved stone open staircase at the center, with concrete steps and cast-iron columns and handrail.
