Roughcast, but articulated by brick pilaster strips, brick quoin strips and plinth; hipped red-tiled roof with wide moulded eaves and 4 tall brick stacks, symmetrically-arranged with 2 to front and 2 to rear roof pitches.

Central entrance with elliptical arch; inset doorcase with fluted pilasters and bosses to capitals, containing a half-lit panelled door with diamond glazing; fan-light with radial glazing bars. The windows are horned sashes with margin glazing, within fluted frames with flat heads and stone sills.
