Number 69, which is part of this building, has a two-window front facing High Street and a splayed corner, while the other sections have three windows along High Street. The upper floors are highlighted by Corinthian pilasters.
There is a bracketed cornice with a terracotta band course, a sill course, and bracketed sills for the second-floor windows. The first-floor windows have cambered heads with keyblocks and a broken cornice at the impost level, along with a sill course and bracketed sills that feature terracotta reliefs between the brackets. The ground floor has modern shopfronts set between pilasters that support a dentil cornice. Above the pilasters are small lunettes with reliefs of lion's heads. The corner of the building has a former round-headed doorway with a keyblock, and the jamb pilasters have floral capitals.
The elevation of number 69 facing Market Street includes three windows on each floor, two large shop windows, and a lower block made of red brick.
