The building features a crowstep gable and a centrally located entrance that is fluted and pilastered, with the Barrhead coat of arms displayed above. The entrance includes a timber two-leaf door adorned with iron studs, decorative locks, and hinges, flanked by bipartite windows.
On the first floor, there is a large round-arched window with a pilastered key-block design to the right, which has a datestone inscribed with '1902' above it. To the left, there is a mullioned and transomed bipartite window with strapwork above. The exterior is constructed of coursed, bull-faced red sandstone, complemented by polished ashlar dressings.
The building is topped with grey slate roofs featuring terracotta ridge tiles, tall stacks, and clay cans. It also has cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 2004.
