Moulded cornice to ground floor, with consoles having stucco detail, foliate brackets and panelled pilasters to ground floor. Square-headed entrance opening having timber panelled door and overlight. Former flat-arched vehicular entrance to side, now with recessed shopfront inserted, surmounted by round arch with decorative wrought-iron screen and with decorative wrought-iron and cast-iron double-leaf gates.
