It is a sober construction, typical of the 17th-18th centuries, consisting of two floors made up of two uneven and irregular bodies in height. The south facade, facing the garden, has an extreme section resting on Calçada do Galvão, followed by a larger, but more set back, with an iron balcony on the first floor, in front of five windows.
