A pleasant nineteenth-century house with interesting render ornamentation enlivening a well proportioned façade. This house retains many interesting features particularly the render window surrounds. The building is pleasantly located on a site recessed from the road and largely retains its original form and character. It also retains the social significance attached to a dispensary with its continuing function as a doctor's surgery.
