A long, symmetrical three-storey Portland stone façade with a central pedimented portico and a flat balustraded roofline, punctuated by regularly spaced sash windows and a prominent central balcony; rusticated ground floor and classical columns around the entrance. In front, ornate black-and-gold wrought-iron gates and a broad paved forecourt open onto formal lawns and flowerbeds, dominated by the white marble Victoria Memorial topped with a gilded winged figure.
