The exterior is finished in pink harling with tool ashlar margins. The entrance has a centre corniced doorpiece with a panelled door and fanlight, flanked by tripartite windows on both the ground and first floors.

There is also a single-storey and attic L-plan extension to the north, which has corniced end stacks and a slate roof.
