End-of-terrace four-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, c.1825, with prostyle diastyle Doric portico to left ground floor. Extensively renovated with dormer attic added. Now in part commercial use. Pitched roof (gabled to dormer attic windows) with replacement slate, clay ridge tiles, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Painted rendered wall to front (north) elevation with rendered dressings including plinth, strips to ends, band to first floor, band to eaves, and unpainted replacement cement rendered walls to remainder. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, rendered surrounds (shared between floors), and replacement six-over-six timber sash windows having replacement uPVC casement windows to rear (south) elevation. Round-headed door opening under prostyle diastyle portico on two cut-limestone steps with fluted Doric columns supporting panelled frieze, profiled cornice, moulded rendered surround to door opening, and timber panelled door having fanlight. Square-headed door opening to right ground floor with timber panelled door. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.

An appealing modest-scale house incorporating pleasing proportions together with Classically-derived details including an elegant portico enhancing both the architectural design value of the composition and the formal quality of the streetscape at the east end of High Street. Having been reasonably well restored with a number of fittings installed alluding to the traditional models on site the house makes a positive contribution to the historic character of the street scene.
