Originally residential, it features a painted render exterior with ashlar dressings. The entrance is located in the chamfered angle, where spurs have been blocked and converted into a window, with another window above on the first floor. On the High Street side, there are two bays, with a panelled door on the outer right and a machinery door to the left. The first floor has two windows, with the left window positioned behind the machinery door. The Agnew Crescent side has two out-of-line bays, each containing windows on both floors. The first-floor windows are plate glass sash and case, while the ground floor features large square-pane later windows. The building is topped with a modern flat-tiled roof and has a ridge stack.
