Pitched (shared) roof with replacement artificial slate, c.1950, clay ridge tiles, copper-clad vent to apex, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves.

Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house built as one of a terrace of nine identical units (with 12000228, 49 - 51, 53 - 6/KK-4766-09-12000228, 49 - 51, 53 - 6) forming part of a larger group of eleven houses (with 12000247 - 8/KK-4766-09-247 - 8) representing a modest-scale late nineteenth-century local authority housing project in the area. Pleasing proportions, the use of red brick accents to produce a somewhat polychromatic visual effect, and so on all enhance the architectural design value of the house. However, the replacement fittings to the openings have not had a positive impact on the external expression of the composition or on the integrity of the collective assemblage as a consequence.
