End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey local authority house, c.1940, retaining original aspect with entrance bay to side (north-east) elevation. One of a terrace of five. Pitched (shared) roof with profiled clay tile, red clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Unpainted roughcast walls. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and steel casement windows. Square-headed door opening under concrete canopy with glazed timber door, and overlight. Set back from line of road with forecourt to front having unpainted roughcast boundary wall, and steel gate.

A modest-scale house of balanced proportions and reserved detailing, incorporating increasingly-rare original steel casement windows. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22830304/WD-09-30-304), contributes to an eclectic streetscape composed of buildings of various periods of construction.
