The tall 3-storey and attic flanking elevations have giant Corinthian columns with block banding to base of shafts. Shallow canted bay windows on first floor and large lunette window above segmental portal entrance. Pedimented dormers in parapet with urns in line with columns below. The windows are stone mullioned. Important corner site, listed in particular for the contribution made by the tower to the townscape.
