The architects Clegg, Fryer & Penman designed the long façade with three slightly protruding pavilions with grossly inflated pilasters and pediments; in the centre the principal pediment is topped by a stumpy tower which breaks through the cornice line.

The lowest third of the façade is emphasized by rustication and by having a more elaborate arrangement of windows.
