On the north elevation facing High Street, there is a central door flanked by bipartite windows. The door is modern and features a panelled design with a slender segmental-arched fanlight above. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar skews and a coped dry-dashed gablehead stack on the east side, while the stack on the west side is truncated. The building also has thackstanes, a moulded eaves gutter, and a rainwater hopper.
