The exterior is made of cleaned stone, coursed and squared rubble, with painted margins and quoin strips. There is a cornice at the first floor and an eaves lintel course.

On the south elevation facing High Street, the ground floor shop has a central door flanked by bipartite windows, and a pend entrance with a timber door and a deep plate glass fanlight on the outer left. The first and second floors have three regular bays, with slated dormer windows over the outer bays and four rooflights in the center.

The north elevation features a variety of elements, including a projecting cat-slide roof that breaks the eaves at the center and a piended dormer window over the right bay.

Malcolm's House is a single-storey rubble cottage with a cellar, likely the former laigh floor. The south elevation has a cellar door in the center and a window in the right bay, with a curved stone forestair on a brick plinth to the left of center leading to a door, accompanied by a window to the left and another to the right. There are two traditional rooflights in the roof.

On the north elevation, there are steps leading up to an off-centre right door, with a small window beyond to the right and a lean-to extension to the left. This elevation also features two modern Velux windows and a small rooflight above.

The west elevation has a recessed face to the left of center with a small window close to the ground and a carved lintel with the inscription '17 JA(?)' and an anchor 'BL(orS) 97' over a door in the adjoining boundary wall on the outer left.

The glazing is plate glass in modern timber frames, and the roof is covered with grey slates. The building has broad ashlar and brick stacks with cans. Malcolm's House features a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows on the south side and a 6-pane top-opening timber window on the north side, with grey slates and coped ashlar stacks with thackstanes and ashlar-coped skews.
