Ruskinian Venetian Gothic style. Architect not known at time of survey. Built of red brick with some polychrome brick and Portland stone dressings; roof was a hipped slate roof but was missing at time of survey. Three storeys and basement; 6 windows. Cornice missing at time of survey but dogtooth band with lion's head masks survive. Three high relief masks in roundels above central second floor windows. The upper two storeys are articulated by their windows, which are united architecturally across the two floors with arcading with round-headed arches with polychrome decoration and two storey brick pilasters with stone carved ironpost blocks and bases. The two outer windows have central half-columns and floral roundel. The four central windows are tripartite, with identical half columns, the upper windows having Venetian heads with four glazed roundels and central floral roundel. First floor windows have flat arches. Sash windows with horns.
