The roof is hipped and covered with slate, boasting overhanging eaves. The north elevation consists of three bays, with a central projecting bay. It has twelve-pane sash windows, while the second floor has square six-pane sashes. The entrance is marked by a round-headed and pedimented doorcase, which includes fielded panelled reveals, a fielded panelled door, and a semi-circular fanlight with a contemporary lampholder. The east elevation has two bays.
At the west end of the house, there is a two-storey service wing that features a half-hipped slate roof and pebbledash cladding. The street elevation includes an attic window and a nine-pane hopper window below it.
The property is complemented by 19th-century area railings along Priory Hill and to the east. Inside, the house retains a good interior with original cornices, chimney pieces, panelled doors, and a staircase.
