Segmental-headed window openings, brick arches with plain tooled granite keystones, tooled granite sills, hardwood casement windows, upper panels sub-divided into small panes; round-headed window opening to central breakfront at ground floor, date stone inscribed with relief lettering "1897". Street fronted, brewery to north, roughcast boundary wall to east, wrought-iron gates and railings to west.
