An appealing, well-proportioned house that is distinguished in the streetscape by the gable front having rendered dressings in the form of a Classical pediment. Extensively renovated over the course of the twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original form and most of the original fabric, the basic outline of the composition nevertheless remains discernible, with the central block having flanking gateways.
