Four storeys, three window range of paired plate-glass sashes. Renewed cement sills on small terracotta corbels to upper floors, and similar corbels under gutter.

First floor has ovolo-moulded jambs, terracotta caps, and stilted cambered heads with a flush red brick hood over the bi-colour voussoirs. Impost band has red and yellow stretchers alternately in middle course. Second floor has segmental pointed heads with red brick flush hood over bi-colour voussoirs. Jambs are plain.
