Round-headed door opening with cut-limestone step, moulded reveals, and timber panelled door having fanlight. Square-headed openings to right ground floor remodelled, c.1950, with fixed-pane (three-light) timber window on concrete sill having chamfered mullions, timber panelled door on cut-limestone step having overlight (leading to glazed timber panelled internal door having overlight), and timber fascia board over.

Appraisal
A well-ordered substantial house retaining much of the original form and massing despite a number of renovation projects over two periods in the twentieth century. Furthermore the retention of substantial quantities of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior maintains the positive impression made on the historic character of Low Street.
