Attached three-bay four-storey over half-basement house, built c. 1850. Pitched roof with rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and render eaves course. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows and concrete sills. Segmental-headed door opening with timber panelled door, fanlight, render surround comprising moulded render archivolt and render hood-moulding with decorative stops.

Site bounded by decorative cast-iron railings with rendered plinth walls having dressed limestone copings.
Appraisal
The large scale and size of this building make it an imposing feature on the narrow streetscape. The door surround is well executed and provides a central decorative focus to the regular façade. The approach steps are well crafted, particularly that with curved ends. The decorative boundary railings add context to the site.
