The original building is of traditional stone construction, with a rendered external finish, surmounted by a pitched and slate clad roof. To the rear is a large single-storey extension of brick construction, with a roughcast external finish, under a flat roof clad with fiberglass. The unit benefits from a tile clad sales frontage with large display windows and a central customer entrance door, under full-width fascia signage. A shared pedestrian pend provides direct access to the rear of the property from the public footpath, including an area of gravel surfaced garden ground that is partially enclosed by a stone boundary wall.
