Elaborate polychrome work, red brick with ashlar and blue brick dressings and plain tile roof with tile crest. Stylised brick gable and side wall stacks. Gothic Revival style. Blue brick plinth and first floor band. 2 storeys plus attics; 5 window range. Windows are mainly wooden framed cross casements and plain sashes with leaded glazing. Asymmetrical front has to left a board door in a shouldered opening with shafts. To right, 2 segmental arches with a grey granite column, containing a late C20 panelled door and window. Beyond, a basket arched passage entrance. To left, a 2-light window with plate tracery. Above, to left, a machicolated turret with 3 trefoil-headed windows under gables. Octagonal spire roof and 2 steep pitched hipped lucarnes, with crests and finial. To right, 4 trefoil-headed windows with clustered shafts.
