Single vertical row of square-headed windows openings to south-facing side elevation to west side, having plain rendered reveals, limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Three-centred arched door opening, red brick arch, patent rendered reveals, limestone threshold step, and doorcase comprising three-quarters engaged Composite columns with ribbon bows to capital, joined by entablature with fluted frieze enriched by rosette detailing, and breaking forward over columns; original flat-panelled timber door leaf with horizontal central panel and early brass door furniture; original radiating webbed fanlight with lead embellishment, and historic glass. Limestone paved front door platform accessed by a flight of limestone steps, flanked by painted stone plinth wall supporting original wrought-iron railings with spearhead finials and cast-iron rail posts with pineapple finials, returning to the south and west to enclose the basement area.

Appraisal
This house forms an end to a short terrace comprising three houses adjoining a terrace of five houses on Mallow Street. They form a block which may have been built speculatively by the same builder, as each shares an identical doorcase, front site railing treatment, uniform coach houses, and many share the addition of Adamesque balconettes.
