Pitched artificial slate roof, clay ridge tiles, painted smooth-rendered flat-capped chimneystacks, half-round cast-iron gutters on projecting painted timber eaves. Painted smooth-rendered walling. Square-headed window openings, painted masonry sills, painted three-over-three horizontally sub-divided timber sash windows.

Street fronted, corrugated-iron gates leading to rear to north and south of building.
Appraisal
This large building boasts an austere shopfront redolent of mid-twentieth century architectural development. Unusual horizontally sub-divided sash windows add significantly to the architectural value of the property.
