The entrance elevation is finished in painted render, while the sides are constructed from rubble. It has a base course, a corniced band course, channelled quoins, and a moulded pedimented doorpiece that breaks the corniced band course. The first floor has roll moulded windows with cill brackets.
On the north (entrance) elevation, there are entrances located at the outer left and left of centre, featuring timber and glass doors. A single window is positioned between the entrances on the left, while the outer right has one single window and a double-width window at ground level. The first floor exhibits regular fenestration. Notably, there is an extended depth and a cast-iron balcony at the penultimate window on the right side of the first floor.
