Asbestsos slate roof with gabled ends with shaped bargeboards, the west end with wooden spike finial. Rendered brick chimneystack over rear wall.

The right of main range is a 2- storey possibly 1-room plan range, which is possibly all that remains of an earlier build. Main range: 3 storeys, symmetrical 3-window range. The ground floor has a large mid C19 double-fronted shop with plain pilasters and entablature with moulded cornice. 8 large panes to each shop window. The shop front continues around left- hand (east) return with a carved cornice. Central doorway to shop with glazed and panelled door, rectangular overlight and pilasters supporting shaped brackets in turn supporting bay window above right-hand doorway to house with rectangular overlight and flat canopy on shaped brackets. First floor window left and right with raised architrave and moulded cornice on console brackets, and central splayed timber bay window with very thin corner shafts. 2 second floor windows with plain raised architraves. All sashes with horizontal glazing bars only. One window to each floor on left-hand (east) gable end, similar sahses and architraves. Interior not inspected. This large building is situated in a prominent central position in the town. The largely unaltered exterior with a fine Victorian shop front makes a valuable contribution to the townscape.
