The ground floor comprises of a series of semi-circular arched openings; some are blind and others have door openings. The replacement doors are set within semi-circular arched openings. Window openings are flat-headed with six over six timber sash frames. The parapet rests on a projecting cornice and all but obscures the hipped roof; the roof is finished with natural slate. Chimneystacks are rendered with corbelled caps and clay pots. The building is road fronted.
