Unpainted replacement cement rendered walls with unpainted roughcast wall to rear (south-west) elevation over random rubble stone construction. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, and replacement one-over-one timber sash windows, c.1900, retaining three-over-three timber sash windows to top floor (wrought iron sill guards to ground floor) with six-over-six timber sash windows to rear (south-west) elevation. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door on cut-limestone threshold having overlight incorporating decorative surround. Interior with carved timber staircase, and timber panelled shutters to window openings. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house retaining most of the original composition qualities together with substantial quantities of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior notwithstanding over-zealous renovation projects that have led to the erosion of some of the historic patina of the site. Identified by the vertical emphasis of the massing the house makes a pleasing impression on the visual appeal of Mill Street.
