Terraced two-bay two-storey house, c.1840, retaining early fenestration. Reroofed, c.1990. One of a terrace of nine. Pitched (shared) roof with replacement artificial slate, c.1990, clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, and 6/6 timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening in shallow segmental-headed recess with replacement glazed timber panelled door, c.1990.

This house, built as part of a group of nine terraced houses of identical appearance, is an attractive, small-scale composition that has been well maintained, retaining its original form together with important early salient features and materials. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22501869/WD-5632-21-888), forms part of an attractive streetscape in Francis Street, adhering to the topography of the sloping site through the use of a sloping roofline.
