Rendered, ruled and lined walls with bull nose-detailed rendered panelled quoins to ends. Timber shopfront to ground floor. Square-headed window openings (upper floors) with cut-limestone sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows.

Street fronted with concrete brick cobbled footpath to front.

A house erected as one of a terrace of four units (including 31212120 - 31212121) representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact near-square plan form; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, including a Classically-detailed shopfront of artistic interest making a pleasing visual statement in Bridge Street at street level.
