Terraced two-bay four-storey over-basement red brick house, built c. 1820, forming one of a terrace of similarly scaled houses. Two-storey over basement return to rear. M-profile roof concealed behind a parapet wall with rendered chimneystack to east and west part walls. Red brick walls laid in Flemish bind with cement re-pointing. Rendered basement elevation with limestone ashlar plinth course delineating ground floor level. Rubble limestone and red brick rear elevation with red brick parapet, limestone coping. Rendered return. Red brick camber-arched window openings with patent rendered reveals, painted limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows throughout. Windows to rear elevation having red brick surrounds and limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows throughout. Three-centred arch door opening, with red brick arch, rendered reveals, limestone threshold step, and inset doorcase comprising: three-quarters engaged Ionic columns with swags to capitals, supporting fluted frieze with rosette detailing, breaking forward over orders; flat-panelled timber door leaf with horizontal central panel; webbed fanlight enriched by lead detailing. Opening onto limestone flagged front door platform with cast-iron bootscraper, arrived at by limestone steps. Steps and platform flanked by limestone plinth wall supporting original wrought-iron railings with spearhead finials and cast-iron rail posts with pineapple finials, which return to enclose the front site stone flagged basement area. Painted rubble limestone coach house to rear with vehicular gate and small vent opening; red brick party wall to one side, and corrugated metal pitched roof covering.

Forming one of three terraced houses sharing a similar scale, massing and fenestration alignment, this house remains in good condition despite inappropriate alterations resulting in the loss of original features such as the timber sash windows.
