Terraced four-bay two-storey house with integral carriage access, built c.1880. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, uPVC rainwater goods and rendered corbels. Painted rendered walls with platband at sill level first floor. Square-headed openings to first floor with concrete sills, raised rendered surrounds and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed tripartite openings to ground floor with two-over-two and flanking one-over-one timber sliding sash windows with raised rendered surrounds and concrete sills. Square-headed central door opening with timber glazed door, overlight, rendered pilasters with consoles and cornice with corbels. Square-headed opening with double-leaf timber panelled doors and raised rendered surround.

A prominent building in the streetscape which retains many interesting features such as the tripartite timber sliding sash windows and integral carriage arch. The render detail enhances the facade and creates a pleasant contrast to the smooth rendered walls. This attractive building makes a positive contribution to the local streetscape.
