The front is finished in colourwashed roughcast on brick, topped with a gently pitched slate roof that has a lead ridge. The eaves cornice is saw tooth in design, and there is a brick chimney at the end.
On the second floor, there are shallow sash windows, with an 8-pane window on the left and a 6-pane window on the right. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows, all featuring keystones above flat arches, plain reveals, and stone sills.
The ground floor has an altered 19th century shopfront, which includes a crested cornice supported by consoles over a convex canted front with plain pilasters. Flanking the recessed doorway are four-pane windows, and there is a rectangular fanlight above the door.
