Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, cut-limestone keystones to top floor, and replacement one-over-one timber sash windows, c.1900. 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 12001031/KK-4766-14-31) 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.
