Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, red brick corbelled chimneystacks, cast-iron gutters on eaves, circular cast-iron downpipe. Red brick walling laid in Flemish bond, smooth rendered plinth course, continuous red brick sill course and recessed band to lintel level. Segmental-headed window openings, roll-moulded red brick soffits, painted timber casement 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 panelled door; 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. Brick lean-to outbuilding to yard bounded by smooth rendered wall to east.
This picturesque house is one of twenty built by Cairne's Trust of Cairne's Brewery, to house workers. This charming structure displays fine craftsmanship in its design and decoration. The canopy is a particularly striking feature to this pleasantly-sited terrace as are the timber casement windows which are worthy of note.
