Ranges linked in the centre by a later wall/memorial, erected 1966, making a U-plan complex. Hipped and pitched natural roofs with ashlar limestone chimneystacks and a number of remaining sections of cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls over smooth rendered plinth. Ashlar limestone piers and a projecting string course at first floor level to five-bay end elevations to both ranges, facing east. Raised eaves parapet to eastern end elevation to northern range. Square-headed window openings having ashlar limestone block-and-start surrounds, cut stone sills and mainly replacement windows. Openings to east end of southern block widened and altered c.1980 with surrounds removed. Ground floor windows to east end elevation of both ranges set in round-headed recesses. Round-headed doorcases with ashlar limestone block-and-start surrounds, timber panelled doors and replacement fanlights. Single-bay full-height breakfronts to the northwest (rear) sides of both blocks having square-headed doorcases with block-and-start surrounds.
