Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Square-headed door opening to balcony with glazed timber panelled double doors.

An interesting modest-scale house, built as one of a terrace of seven identical houses (with 22821106, 167 – 171/WD-31-21-106, 167 - 171), incorporating a range of distinctive features that augment the architectural importance of the composition, including a shallow canted bay window, bipartite window openings, and so on, all framed within an enclosed recessed façade. Very well maintained, the house retains its original form and massing, together with important salient features and materials, which enhance the historic quality of the composition. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace, forms an attractive landmark of distinctive appearance in the streetscape of Old Chapel Lane.
