It features a balustraded parapet, a dentil cornice, and an acanthus frieze.

Above the doorway is a window, and on the first floor, there is a central window flanked by smaller windows. The High Street elevation has nine windows, with pilasters on the upper floor and half-columns on the ground floor. The central bay is emphasized by a Grecian roof line, and there are masks on the keystones of the ground floor. The Bridge Street elevation has seven windows, with a central doorway featuring a granite portal and a semi-circular arched window above. The ground floor has windows at two levels.
