Replacement pitched artificial slate roof with moss-covered ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack having stringcourse below moss-covered capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves boards on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron downpipe. Roughcast walls with rendered "bas-relief" strips to ends supporting rendered band to eaves. Timber shopfront, 1920[?], to ground floor. Square-headed window openings (first floor) including one square-headed window opening in bipartite arrangement with cut-limestone sills[?], and rendered "bas-relief" surrounds framing one-over-one timber sash windows.

A house representing an integral component of the built heritage of Westport. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric including a Classically-detailed shopfront of artistic interest making a pleasing visual statement in Bridge Street at street level.
