Terraced two-bay two-storey house, c.1850. Refenestrated, c.1950. One of a group of three. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stack, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and replacement one-over-one timber sash windows, c.1950. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed timber panelled door, c.1950. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.

An attractive small-scale house built as one of a group of three identical units (remainder in group not included in survey) contributing positively to the modest quality of the street scene. Having been reasonably well maintained the house remains as the last in the group to present an historic aspect with substantial quantities of the early fabric surviving intact.
