Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, brick corbelled chimneystack with moulded cornice to shaft, dormer window with carved engaged painted timber columns flanking window, bargeboards and sheeted cheeks, moulded cast-iron gutters on moulded brick corbelled eaves course, square-profile cast-iron downpipe. Red brick walling laid to Flemish bond, moulded string courses, channelled decoration to ground floor. Square-headed window openings, granite sills, uPVC casement windows. Round-headed door opening, red brick voussoirs, painted timber door with six raised-and-fielded panels, plain-glazed fanlight. Set back from road, garden to west, concrete path, bounded by red brick wall with granite coping, cast-iron railing, square gate piers, pyramidal caps, cast-iron gate.

This attractive Victorian house, one of a pair, displays well-executed subtle decorative features, with the unusual channelled brickwork being particularly noteworthy. Its simple design is enhanced by the dormer window, with its carved detailing, and canted bay.
