It was designed by Ernest Morgan, architect of Swansea in the Baroque revival style and was constructed of Portland stone with red brick dressings. There is a concave entrance front across the north angle, with a tall, square clocktower with a domed polygonal top and open pediments to bell openings above a 2-storey convex porch; long facades splay back on each side.
