Camber-headed window openings to basement with red brick dressings, and three-over-three timber sash windows having wrought iron bars. Round-headed door opening with five cut-limestone steps having wrought iron railings, moulding continuing into concave reveals, cut-stone Doric doorcase having inscribed frieze supporting archivolt, and timber panelled door having fanlight.

A well-composed Classically-proportioned substantial house built as one of a pair (with 12001032/KK-4766-14-32) retaining the original form and massing together with most of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a positive visual impression in an historic streetscape. A finely-executed doorcase displaying high quality stone masonry enlivens the architectural design quality of the house while sections of early iron railings further enhance the street presence of the site.
