End-of-terrace two-bay four-storey house over raised basement, built c.1820, now in use as hostel. M-profile pitched slate roof set behind brick parapet with squared granite coping. Rendered splayed gable elevation to north caused by insertion of Loop Line railway c.1888-9 which resulted in building being partially rebuilt from first floor up and windows nearest bridge reduced to narrow slits.

Recent signage, 'Isaac Hotel', running across this and adjoining building to south between first and second floors. Diminishing square-headed window openings with gauged brick voussoirs, patent rendered reveals and granite sills. Openings to northern bay reduced during alterations, having replacement two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, historic replacement six-over-six pane elsewhere.
