Terraced two-bay two-storey house, c.1840. Refenestrated, c.1900. Renovated, c.1980, with window opening remodelled to left ground floor to accommodate commercial use. One of a pair. Gable-ended roof with slate. Clay ridge tiles. Cast-iron rainwater goods on eaves course. Roughcast walls. Unpainted. Square-headed openings (window opening remodelled, c.1980, to left ground floor). Stone sills (replacement concrete sill, c.1980, to left ground floor). Replacement 2/2 timber sash windows, c.1900 (replacement timber casement window, c.1980, to left ground floor. Timber panelled door. Overlight. Road fronted. Concrete flagged footpath to front.
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive building that retains most of its original form and character. The remodelled opening to left ground floor detracts somewhat from the balance of the original design, yet is a reversible action. The house retains many important early or original salient features, including timber fittings to the door opening and timber sash fenestration to the first floor. The house has a positive impact on the streetscape of Main Street, continuing the established roofline of the street while contributing to the varied roofline of the terrace.
