The building has two storeys and a basement, constructed of stugged ashlar, which is painted at No 7 Sydenham Road, with a polished ashlar base course and margins, and a stugged basement.
The elevation facing Prince Albert Road has four bays, with the outer bays at the ground floor featuring a three-light canted window. Above, there are pilastered tripartite windows in the inner bays. To the right, there is a ramped pilastered and corniced doorpiece, with pilastered reveals supporting a moulded archivolt over a leaded fanlight and double-leaf panelled doors. To the left, there is an architraved window. The first-floor windows have pilastered reveals.
The elevation to Sydenham Road has three bays and is similarly detailed. It features a centrally placed doorpiece and single-light sashes to the right, all detailed as described above, with a two-storey window to the left. The windows are sash with plate glass glazing, and the upper sashes of No 8 Prince Albert Road have small leaded panes. Continuous cill bands are present on the ground and first floors, topped with a modillion cornice. The building has axial stacks and slate roofs.
The rear elevation and east flank are made of stugged coursed ashlar with polished ashlar margins.
