Four storeys, basement and set back steep mansard. Austerely detailed elevation combining Arts and Crafts with mid C18 French touches.

Above rises a shallow canted bay through first, second and third floors with flush framed glazing bar sash lights in shallow bolection architraves. Raised panels over first and second floor windows give cambered arch effect and the window architraves suggest vertical "ribs" on the bay.
