Pitched roof behind parapet with replacement artificial slate, c.2000, concrete ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, rendered coping, and replacement aluminium rainwater goods, c.2000. Painted rendered walls with rendered frieze and cornice over openings to first floor, and rendered cornice and coping to parapet. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills, moulded rendered sill course to second floor, rendered consoled sill course to top floor, and moulded rendered profiled surrounds to all openings (having entablatures to first floor).

This house, despite extensive renovations that have led to the loss of most of the original fabric, retains its original balanced form and remains an important component of the streetscape of Merchant’s Quay, being distinguished by the rendered dressings of artistic significance.
