Upper storey is roughcast render with brick quoins and terracotta cornice with swag decoration to frieze. Ground floor has paired sash windows to left, and single sash window to right, all with segmental heads with keystones and hood moulds, and small upper. Brick and terracotta bay window advanced across angle to right, with round-arched mullioned lights, and heavy terracotta cornice. 2 oriel windows in first floor, the smaller left hand window with pediment over main light.
