Main range rectangular on plan, gable end to river, with 3-room house and shop addition to river front. Main range 3 storeys with 2 attic storeys. South side: irregular fenestration. Earlier lower section to left has 5 closely- grouped coped brick pilaster buttresses, with tall 5-light window to second bay and shorter 5-light window to third bay, both beneath header basket arches; blocked window beneath segmental stretcher arch to fourth bay. To right, a pair of tall 5-light windows beneath header basket arches, a flush- panelled door beneath a stretcher basket arch, a small 4-light window beneath segmental stretcher arch and an inserted 4-pane sliding sash to far right. Above, at second-floor level, a pair of 5-light segmental-arched windows in C19 rebuilt wall to left, a small 3-light window, vertical straight joint and a segmental-arched 6-light window to centre, and to far right, a 4-pane first-floor sash beneath a segmental stretcher arch, and a partly-blocked segmental-arched second-floor opening with an inserted 5- light window. Stone-coped gable to right. Left gable end: 5-light window to left in blocked segmental-arched door, with 4-light segmental-arched window to right; pairs of segmental-arched hatches with board doors to second floor and first attic floor, single similar hatch to top attic floor. North side: board door to left of centre beneath segmental arch, C19 inserted board door to right beneath timber lintel, inserted C20 glazed door and casement to left. First floor: 5-light window beneath inserted timber lintel and original segmental stretcher arch, 4-pane casement to left.

Most windows have narrow lights with lapped glass, the taller ones also with single transoms. Interior: heavy chamfered oak beams carrying board floors, sections of floors at west end removed; internal brick partition wall with high round-arched opening. Collared rafter roof with pegged staggered butt purlins. In the mid C19 the building contained an oil seed cake mill operated by a steam engine at the west end of the building. An early illustration shows a tall stack alongside. The sole survivor of a group of warehouses along this section of the river.
