Terraced six-bay three-storey over basement house, built c.1800, with breakfront to entrance bay, integral carriage arch and return to rear. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to walls with moulded rendered eaves course and full-height pilasters to ends. Timber sash windows with moulded stucco surrounds and stone sills. Paired timber sash windows to basement. Round-headed door opening with moulded stucco incorporating pilasters. Doorcase comprising engaged Doric columns surmounted by cornice and fanlight. Limestone steps to door with ashlar facing surmounted by cast-iron railings.

This striking building is particularly noticeable along O'Connell Street.

The classical doorcase and window detailing further enrich this substantial structure, while adding to the built heritage of the historic town.
