Terraced two-bay three-storey house, c.1820, with shared square-headed pedestrian way to right ground floor. Renovated and refenestrated, c.1870, with shopfront inserted to ground floor. Now disused. One of a pair. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods, c.1995, on rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Replacement 1/1 timber sash windows, c.1870. Square-headed (shared) pedestrian way to right ground floor with timber boarded door. Timber shopfront, c.1870, to ground floor with fluted pilasters, fixed-pane timber display window, glazed timber door with overlight, and timber fascia over with moulded cornice.

This house, built as one of a pair, is an important middle-size composition of balanced proportions that retains its original form and early character. The house incorporates an important early-surviving timber shopfront of artistic significance. The house, together with the second in the pair (22501331/WD-5632-21-343), is an attractive feature in the streetscape of John Street, and contributes to the historic fabric of the street.
