Replacement pitched fibre-cement slate roof with ridge tiles, and uPVC rainwater goods on rendered cut-limestone eaves. Roughcast wall to front (east) elevation; replacement cement rendered surface finish (remainder). Square-headed window openings (first floor) centred on tooled cut-limestone date stone ("1780") with drag edged dragged cut-limestone sills, and concealed dressings framing replacement nine-over-nine timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Street fronted with concrete flagged footpath to front.
A truncated townhouse erected by or for Charles Higgins (1715-91) representing an integral component of the later eighteenth-century domestic built heritage of Westport.
