Pitched slate roof, flat roof to extension, clay ridge tiles, red brick corbelled chimneystacks, cast-iron gutters on eaves, circular cast-iron downpipe. Painted red brick walling laid in Flemish bond, smooth rendered plinth, continuous red brick sill course and recessed band to lintel level, smooth rendered walling to extension. Segmental-headed window openings, roll-moulded red brick soffits, aluminium windows. Segmental-headed door opening surmounted by gabled canopy, painted timber bargeboards and finial, supported on cast-iron brackets, roll-moulded red brick soffit, plain-glazed overlight, painted timber door with four raised-and-fielded panels; red brick plinth walls flanking entrance, polychromatic tiles and tooled stone threshold. Located on west-facing slope, garden to east, separated from house by concrete lane. Smooth rendered walled yard to rear (east).

One of a row of worker's houses built by Cairne's Brewery, this charming structure displays fine craftsmanship in its design and decoration. The canopy is a particularly striking feature to this pleasantly-sited terrace.
