Replacement aluminium gutters and uPVC downpipes to rear elevation. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed window openings having limestone and render sills with one-over-one pane windows to front and and six-over-six pane to rear. Tripartite one-over-one pane window to rear elevation with render sills. Replacement timber window to half-basement. Round-headed door opening to front within render doorcase comprising panelled pilasters surmounted by moulded open-bed pediment. Replacement timber panelled door, with fanlight. Recent square-headed door openings to rear having replacement timber glazed doors. Tooled limestone stepped approach with cast-iron hand-rails. Lined-and-ruled rendered enclosing wall to front with decorative cast-iron gate.

This classically proportioned house is much enlivened by its fine pedimented doorcase, limestone steps and timber sliding sash windows. Its most unusual feature is its curved façade which differentiates it from its neighbours. The garden and boundary wall to the front add significantly to the setting of the house.
