The main facade faces Townhead Street and features a two-storey and attic, seven-bay asymmetrical design. The exterior is painted green with yellow margins, as of 2004, and includes prominent dormers and overdoor signage, as well as a square-headed cart arch.

On the southeast elevation, there are two distinct buildings. The southwest section has a ground floor with a single door, a cart arch, and three windows, while the upper floor has three windows. This section also features two canted bay dormers with slated cheeks and a bowed roof. The northeast section has a central double door with a roll-moulded basket arch and signage above reading "The Tavern on the Town." This is flanked by two windows on each side and two projecting cornice signs. The first floor includes canted bays at the end bays and two single windows in the center, along with three polygonal piended dormers with sloping bottom rails to the windows.

The northwest elevation displays irregular fenestration, with a central bowed stair projection and single-storey extensions, including a single-storey extension to the southwest.

At the rear, there are outbuildings, including an open-fronted slate-roofed shed and a piended rubble shed to the southwest.

Inside, the ground floor has been substantially altered, featuring a polychrome tiled floor in the hall and a stone stair leading to the center of the northeast block. There are two stained glass windows in the stair area.

The windows throughout the building are predominantly timber sash and case. The front elevation includes four-pane windows on the upper floor of the southwest section and a six-pane upper light over a plate glass lower pane on the northeast section, with applied astragals to the lower lights on the ground floor. The rear showcases a variety of glazing, including two-pane and twelve-pane lying panes. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and has exposed rafters in the northeast block, along with ridge stacks featuring clay cans. The cast iron rainwater goods include dated hoppers from 1900.
