Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, red brick corbelled chimneystack, uPVC gutters on timber eaves brackets to overhanging eaves. Squared coursed rubble stone walling to west, painted smooth rendered walling to east. Square-headed window openings, block-and-start bull-nosed yellow brick jambs, flat-arched bull-nosed brick lintels, granite sills, painted timber casement windows.

Greenore, a small seaside village, was developed towards the end of the nineteenth century to house the workers on the London and North Western Railway along with those of the new harbour which was completed in 1873. This house was built as part of a terrace of six identically designed houses built predominantly with limestone, elevations and yellow brick surrounds to the openings creating a contrast on the façade.
