The façade is rendered and painted, with rendered quoins also, the pitched roof slated and chimneystacks rendered. The flat-headed windows have timber bi-partite sash frames. East of the ground floor of the front elevation is the mainly glazed restaurant doorway with the large flat-roofed projection to right of this incorporating a timber shopfront of c.1920. To west of this is a smaller flat-roofed porch with house door whilst to west again is a timber post office shopfront of c.1980. Cast-iron rainwater goods.
