The windows have plain reveals, with square 6-pane sashes on the top floor and 12-pane sashes on the first floor. The ground floor has a modern shopfront.
Inside, the interior has been significantly altered, but it still retains a good earlier 18th-century staircase at the rear, along with original doors and doorcases leading to the staircase hall.
