Front (west) elevation slightly advanced from adjoining buildings and having pediment to parapet. Two-storey return to rear. Pitched roof, concealed by brick parapet inset with square recessed panels and having moulded brick and lead-lined cornice. Parapet surmounted by shallow brick gable over stepped base, with recessed apex featuring blind keyed oculus, and having gutters. Machine-made red brick walling, laid in Flemish bond, with projecting horizontally channelled brick piers to outer sides, rising to moulded stringcourses over middle floor windows (continuing across neighbouring buildings). Square-headed window openings, having brick voussoirs, brick sills to top two floors and masonry sills to first floor, and original one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with ogee horns and largely replacement glass. Ground floor retains moulded masonry cornice of earlier shopfront.
