Pitched (shared) roof with replacement artificial slate, c.1985, clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stack, square rooflight, and replacement plastic rainwater goods, c.1985, on rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls with rendered quoined pier to end. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, and replacement timber casement windows, c.1985.

A well-composed house, built as an integral component of an early nineteenth-century urban planning project initiated by the Duke of Devonshire centred on Grattan (originally Market) Square. Extensively renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of most of the original fabric and historic patina, the elementary form and massing nevertheless remains intact, contributing to the regular streetline and roofline of the south-east range of the square.
