The building was amongst the first on the sea front originally owned by John Walker of the prominent brewing company.

Front wall faced with dressed stone laid in regular shallow courses; quoins, dressings and bands in contrasting stone. Moulded and toothed eaves cornice.

There is a three-light canted bay window which descends to ground level in each outer bay. Single light centre first floor window. In centre bay on ground floor, a flight of steps leads up to columned prostyle portico. Stone forecourt wall and piers, centre piers with lamps.
