The middle storey has 4-pane horned sash windows in architraves with Tuscan pilasters, blank entablature and deep moulded cornice. The upper storey has similar paired sash windows with rusticated jambs, shallow sinuous aprons and sill band carried across the end pilasters. The eaves cornice is enriched with a central shallow scrolled pediment. The Flemish gable has a moulded panel with '1835' in relief, and is beneath a moulded cornice crowned by a segmental pediment with simple relief foliage and finial.
