Square-headed door opening under lean-to slate canopy (with timber brackets supported on cut-granite consoles) with cut-granite step, red brick block-and-start surround, cut-granite padstones supporting carved timber mullions and transom, timber panelled door having sidelight on panelled riser, and overlight.

A picturesque small-scale house built as one of a group of six identical units (with 15604037 - 41) forming part of a larger group of seven houses (with 15604036) reputedly originally having connections with the nearby Mill Park Brewery or Flour Mill (see 15603097 and 15604049 - 50, 54) or Mill Park Flour Mill or Manor Corn Mill (15603105, 210) complexes. Shared stylistic qualities include the construction featuring red brick accents producing a lively visual effect, the elegant swept profile of the openings, and so on, all producing an appealing architectural design programme. However, while the elementary attributes survive in place, thereby upholding the character or integrity of the collective ensemble in the street scene, the external expression of the composition has not benefited from the replacement fittings inserted to most of the openings.
