Square-headed openings to second floor having moulded render surround, sills, consoles and three-over-three pane timber sliding sash windows. Camber-headed openings to ground and first floors having replacement uPVC windows. Pediments and consoles to first floor openings, with segmental pediments to central bays.

Limestone steps to entrance. Cast-iron railings surrounding basement area.
This substantial end-of-terrace house is a fine example of early nineteenth century urban, domestic architecture. Each floor has been given a different decorative treatment which delineates them and adds interest to the façade. The diminishing windows adds further interest and are a distinctive feature of Georgian architecture. The building retains a fine entrance, limestone steps and some timber sash windows which further enhance the structure.
