Detached five-bay two-storey pair of houses, built c. 1820. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and copings to gables. Roughcast rendered walls with render quoins, platband and plinth course. Square-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed opening to ground floor with fixed timber window and metal sill guard. Segmental-headed door opening with timber panelled door, fixed pane sidelights and overlight. Square-headed door opening with timber battened half-glazed door and overlight. Single-bay single-storey with attic storey outbuilding attached with pitched artificial slate roof, roughcast rendered walls and square-headed openings with timber sliding sash windows and timber battened double-leaf doors. Rendered boundary walls with cast-iron and wrought-iron railings. Rendered square-profile piers to pedestrian entrance with cast-iron gate.

The regular form and symmetrical façade of this building makes a notable addition to the streetscape, and is complimented by the platband and quoins. The retention of timber sash windows, the front wall and the railings are also of architectural value.
