Pennant rubble and limestone dressings, red brick, lateral and ridge stacks and slate and tile cross-gabled roofs. Tudor Gothic Revival style. 3 builds around 3 sides, each single-depth plan. 1882 block to the SE: 2 storeys; 6-gable range. A symmetrical front of coped gables with gableted finials, linked by short parapets pierced to cast-iron hoppers, divided by ground-floor buttresses, with large 3-light window with 2 mullions and transoms; right-hand 2-centred arched doorway beneath a window with 1 transom, a timber porch in bay second from the left with 2-centred arched doorway and pointed windows with a hipped roof, and a blind ashlar mullion window above; slate roof with bands of hexagonal slates, and 3 small louvred dormers. The right-hand return gable has a segmental-arched 5-light mullion and transom window, low 2-centred arched windows each side and 2 carved round panels, with a decapitated gable stack and date pad; to the right is a single storey, 4-gable range with plate-tracery 2-centred arched 2-light windows, and a doorway second from the left with a shouldered lintel; 2 louvred dormers. 1886 block to the NW is U-shaped, with a tiled cross-gabled roof and lateral and ridge stacks. Thomas Street elevation is 2 storeys; 5-window range: a central 3-storey gabled porch has a 2-centred arched doorway with hood and fleur-de-lys finial, drip course, with a similar doorway at the right-hand end. Windows have ogee trefoil heads: paired ground-floor right-hand mullion windows, the rest with transoms, two 3-light ground-floor windows to the left, 5-light on the first-floor and 3-light to the entrance block. The left return has 2 gables linked by a parapet, with a central doorway; ground-floor cross windows, triple to the left with flat heads, 2 to the right, first floor has 3-light right-hand and 5-light left-hand windows, with a lower 3-light stair window over the doorway.

The 1886 block shares decorative details such as window heads with the adjoining Church of St Agnes (qv) by Wood Bethell of 1886. A picturesque, well-detailed group related to the Hansoms' work on Clifton College. (Gomme A, Jenner M and Little B: Bristol, An Architectural History: Bristol: 1979-: 430, 436).
