Three storeys, basement and dormered mansard. Three windows wide. Entrance to left in Ionic porch with fluted columns in antis added by H.L Anderson; two ground floor windows recessed sashes under flat gauged arches, with stone sills. The piano nobile has three Venetian windows set in large semicircular arched openings in the wall face, the sash lights divided by slender Doric pilasters carrying moulded imposts and the archivolt of centre light, fan shaped lunettes, stone pedestal course broken by stone balconies with Doric column balusters. Second floor has small sashes recessed under gauged flat arches and set on sill course. The front is flanked by brick pilaster and finished off with a stone frieze and boldly profiled cornice, the blocking course broken in front of attic windows by Caröe and elegantly finished with stellae and volute-stops.

Interiors, altered quite respectfully for club use by H.L Anderson, retain good cornices and friezes, in particular in the first floor rooms with their ceiling borders with intricate fret panels and patterae etc.
