Coursed limestone walls to house and porch with sparrow-pecked quoins having draughted margins, and projecting plinth. Square-headed window openings with raised stone surrounds and tooled limestone sills, having stone label-mouldings to front ground floor openings and to opening in upper part of porch, and replacement uPVC windows.

Appraisal
This house, standing at the middle of a line of former railway workers' cottages, forms an interesting part of the Woodlawn Railway Station complex. The use of Tudor Revival detailing and the quality of the stone masonry adds considerably to the appeal of this house.
