Paired round-headed openings to ground floor, north and west elevations with concrete sills, render and pebbledash hoodmouldings and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Paired square-headed openings to first floor, north and west elevations having render surrounds and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Camber-headed opening to first floor, north elevation with render surround, bipartite timber sliding sash windows and spoked fanlight. Paired square-headed openings to south elevation having concrete sills and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed openings to east elevation with concrete sills and replacement uPVC windows. Entrance comprising camber-headed opening to north elevation with render hoodmoulding supported by render pilasters, flanking timber panelled door having sidelights and overlight. Rendered step to entrance. Square-headed opening to first floor, extension to east elevation, with render surround and sill, and double-leaf timber battened door. Square-profile piers having render caps, flanking double-leaf cast-iron gates to north of house, with rendered boundary walls having pebbledashed panels.

The regular form of this house is articulated by render quoins, plinth course and stringcourse. The pebbledashed hoodmouldings to the ground floor are unusual and add decorative interest, enlivening the smooth render wall. The variety of timber sliding sash windows add to the architectural significance of the building, most notably the bipartite window with a fanlight to the first floor.
