Flat roof hidden behind Portland limestone parapet wall with shallow pediment, rendered chimneystacks to north party wall with lipped clay pots. Machine-made red brick walls laid in Flemish bond with channel-rusticated Portland limestone ashlar soldier quoins framing elevation as pair of pilasters surmounted by wreath panels and capital mouldings with plain limestone frieze and crown cornice. Ruled-and-lined render to rear elevation. Square-headed window openings with Portland limestone architraves, sills and panelled aprons with timber casement windows. Lugged-and-kneed to second floor and pedimented to first floor with scrolled console brackets. Bipartite timber casements with single-pane overlights.
