Now in use as offices.

Rendered chimneystack to south party wall with clay pots. Flemish bond red brick walls, recently tuck-pointed, with granite quoins, on painted granite plinth over rendered walls to basement; rendered to rear and to abutments. Square-headed window openings, diminishing in height to upper floors, with patent reveals, painted granite sills and timber sliding sash windows, six-over-six pane to basement, ground and second floors, nine-over-six pane to first floor and three-over-three pane to top floor; apparently timber sash to rear with similar fenestration. Round-headed door opening with rendered linings, fluted frieze and cornice on engaged Ionic columns, and having plain fanlight and four-panel timber door with brass door furniture.
