Pitched slate roofs with overhanging timber-clad eave course, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Hipped slate roof to three-storey canted bay. Bitumen-clad roofs to rear additions. Rendered walls throughout, having render sill courses, string courses and cornices to canted bays. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills throughout, having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, timber and uPVC casement windows throughout. Chamfered reveals to first floor window openings of canted bay. Square-headed door openings, having glazed timber door to front elevation of canted bay and double-leaf uPVC doors to side extension.

Built as one of a pair, this house occupies a notable position in the streetscape overlooking the harbour. It is an integral part of a group of fine semi-detached and terraced houses which were built in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Its individually massed blocks, gablets and canted bays are typical of its time, and make for a lively facade. It has maintained a great deal of its historic fabric including timber sash windows and moulded render detailing.
