Semi-detached three-bay three-storey former house, built c. 1850, now in use as funeral home. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and gabled dormer additions. Rendered walls with marble cladding addition to the ground floor. Moulded render surrounds and timber sash windows to upper floor openings. Replacement timber casement windows and single and pair of timber doors to the ground floor.
This former house makes a positive addition to the streetscape, due to the scale and form of the building. This area retains many mid nineteenth-century three-storey terraced houses, which contribute to the unique character of this part of the city. Though many interesting features and materials have been replaced, the building is enhanced by the retention of the timber sash windows and slate roof.
