The external façade is largely as built in c1876. The building is in brick with
decorative banding and window surrounds in red brick. At the eaves is a stepped
decorative brick cornice. Windows are timber sashes, original first and second floor,
but new at ground level. The window openings have large projecting stone cills.There have been alterations to the original house at ground level. A large decorative
3-arched timber window may have been introduced as a ‘shop-front’, the ‘showroom’
created to display the boys joinery work. Later on the ‘shop-front’ may have been
altered when the Post office Club lounge was created. The brickwork below cill level
is in modern red brick, not matching the host property.
