The building was subject to assessment in 2000 (SUP 3) and a summary record was undertaken in 2011, prior to conversion.<1><2>

It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a pitched roof of asbestos slates. The south-east elevation has eight full-height brick buttresses along its length. The building originally had two rooms, the larger to the north-east for the Army Service Corps Wagon Shed, with the other being occupied by the Commissariat Reserve Store. The Wagon Shed had no openings along the south-east elevation but had a wide entrance to the north-eastern end which also had two brick buttresses identical to those on the south-east elevation. The short end of the Wagon Shed displays significant alteration; a large window with a gauged brick window head was inserted and, at a later date, the gable was rebuilt, the entrance bricked in and a modern firedoor inserted. Three windows have been inserted into the south-east elevation, probably at the same time as the other alterations were carried out. The large entrance at the gable end of the Reserve Store has been filled in, probably at the same time that Building 2 was built. Three windows were originally located in the south-east elevation of the Reserve Store but these have been removed and replaced with Crittall windows with window heads of soldiers. A window head of alternating red and yellow brick voussoirs of one of the original windows can still be seen, but the others have been completely replaced by later brick fill.<1>
