Classical style. Rectangular plan, plus a small projecting wing on the left. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys over a basement treated as a plinth, 3 bays, symmetrical (except for the wing), the centre wider and breaking forwards slightly; with channelled rustication to the ground floor, a plain band, raised quoins to the upper floor which is slightly set back, a string course to the frieze which is inscribed in the centre "ANNO DOMINI AENON MDCCCLI", and modillioned eaves with a moulded cornice.
