Pitched slate roof to porch with timber bargeboards. Painted rendered walls with render plinth and quoins. Square-headed panel to central bay of front elevation, with moulded render surround, and recent brass plaque to porch. Pointed arch window openings with timber windows having traceried eight-pane upper portions and opening eight-pane lower portions, with concrete sills. Square-headed door opening to east wall of porch with timber panelled door and concrete steps. Set back from street with site bounded by rubble stone walls with concrete copings, and metal railings and double-leaf gate.

The tall detached form of this building make it an imposing feature on the streetscape. The vertical thrust of the façade is enhanced by the tall pointed arch openings and chimneystacks to gables. It forms a group of related educational structures with the early twentieth-century school buildings to the east and north-east.
