Square-headed door openings having single-pane overlights, timber panelled and double-leaf timber glazed doors. Fronts directly onto street.
Appraisal
When considered as part of a terrace of three former houses, it would appear that this former house originally formed a single house with adjoining pair of buildings to the north. It seems that the facades were altered to reflect its subdivision into three separate units. The variety of window openings and render details have been used to assert the varying ownership of each building. Nonetheless, the terrace retains much historic character and fabric. The late nineteenth century shopfront is an attractive later insertion.
