The lower storey has a late C19 shop front framed by pilasters with fretwork heads, and cornice incorporating a bead-and-reel frieze. The recessed front has decorative tiles to the stallboard and similar tiles to the R side wall leading to the further recessed doorway, which has a half-lit panelled door with raised fields. The shop window is a very large 2-pane sash. In the second storey are 12-pane hornless sashes, in the third storey a similar 12-pane sash window L and blind to the R. The upper storey has a single central 12-pane hornless sash.
The rear has a gabled rubble-stone projection incorporating a basement storey.
