Painted rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows, those to top floor having moulded render surrounds and render sill course, those to second floor having moulded render surrounds and label-mouldings with decorative details and render sill course and that to centre bay of first floor having moulded render surround, moulded render cornice with brackets, and concrete sill.

Appraisal
This building is differentiated from other its neighbours by the use of canted oriel windows and render dressings to its front elevation. These features enliven and articulate the form of the building and add artistic interest to the façade. The shopfront to the ground floor is well integrated and continues the symmetrical form of the upper storeys.
