The left end stack has a truncated shaft. Details of plan unclear on survey as access to rear elevation and interior unobtainable.

Windows glazed with 2-pane plate glass sashes. 3 ground floor cnetre windows slightly recessed below polychromatic segmental arched voussoirs. Canted bay windows to the ground floor of the gabled projections with sandstone heads. Slate roofs with deep eaves, surmounted by wrought iron railings. The bays have French windows in the centre with segmental arched doors below an overlight and 2-pane flanking sashes. Triple round-headed windows above the bays, the centre window wider, all with polychromatic voussoirs. The centre window in the main block is recessed below a segmental polychromatic arch. The gable over has a timber pendant.
