Pitched slate roof, clay ridge cresting, brick chimneystack with flat cap, moulded cast-iron gutters on denticulated moulded cornice, circular cast-iron downpipes. Red brick walling laid in English garden wall bond, moulded brick string courses, continuous painted stone sill and lintel courses, unpainted smooth rendered walling to east, weather-slating to lucarne cheeks. Segmental-headed window openings, painted sills, stop-chamfered reveals, uPVC casement windows. Segmental-headed door opening under moulded render canopy supported on brackets, painted timber six-panel door set in recess with bull-nosed brick reveals, carved timber cornice with dentil course, plain-glazed overlight, granite steps; inner porch with painted timber and glazed door, stained glass overlight, polychromatic tiling to floor.

This fine brick house is one of a group of four which contribute to the rich and varied streetscape of Stapleton Place. This example is distinguished by the substantial curved gable, while its character is enhanced by finely-executed elements such as the canopy and decorative mouldings. The stained glass overlight to the inner door adds an artistic touch to the house.
