Shopfront to left ground floor on cut-stone course with panelled (hollow) pilasters on plinths, fixed-pane display window, and stringcourse supporting fascia having moulded cornice.

Appraisal
A house of modest size making a pleasing impression in Main Street on account of attributes establishing an understated design aesthetic including the somewhat informal composition, the varied surface articulation with subtle dressings producing a muted Classical theme, the shopfront of some artistic interest displaying good quality craftsmanship, and so on. However, the character or external expression of the house has not benefited from the introduction of replacement fittings to most of the openings.
