Terraced three-bay two-storey former house, built c. 1840, having render shopfront to front (north-east). Now in use as retail unit. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, eaves course and aluminium rainwater goods with cast-iron downpipes. Rendered walls with plinth, having render quoins and recent wrought-iron street lamp attached to first floor of front elevation. Square-headed window openings with raised render reveals and tooled stone sills to first floor, having uPVC casement windows. Render shopfront comprising moulded architrave and frieze with raised lettering surmounted by moulded cornice. Camber-headed window openings having moulded render sills and recent timber-framed multiple-pane display windows.

This attractive former house forms an integral part of a long terrace of similarly designed structures that makes a significant contribution to the visual appeal of the surrounding streetscape. The building has maintained much of it historic character having retained original features including a fine shopfront and decorative render quoins. Camber-headed window openings and an attractive central door draw attention to this pleasing building, adding variety of form to the streetscape.
