Double-depth plan with central hall and rear stair. 2½ storeys; 2 principal fronts, one to High Street, the other to La Providence (and visible from High Street).

Fine wrought-iron balconies with palmettes (to lower rail) and festoons (to upper rail) all supported on cast-iron console brackets. Ground floor (with stucco plinth) has 2 hornless sash windows in simply moulded stucco surrounds and, to the right and standing forward, a porch with round-headed doorway, impost band, heavy keyblock and moulded cornice; panelled door with fanlight. The La Providence elevation mirrors No 103 (but retains its ground floor intact); 3 bays with narrow, slightly projecting central entrance bay; round-headed recessed doorway with impost band, large keyblock and moulded cornice; door with pierced panels and fanlight. Upper floor with tripartite side windows, those to 1st floor with surrounds and balconies as to High Street. Note the fine lime pointing which may be original.
