Square-headed door openings to front and rear elevations, having glazed timber doors, with sidelight to front elevation. Flat-roofed outbuilding to rear. Roughcast rendered enclosing wall with render coping, piers to front elevation.

An unusually intact council house, which retains much of its original fabric and features. Social housing is often substantially altered and modified, making this a rare example of its type. The building has a modernist feel with its canopied porch and horizontally emphasised windows.
