Terraced three-bay three-storey former house, built c. 1820, now in use as retail outlet. Pitched slate roof with rendered parapet and rendered chimneystack.

Appraisal
This building forms part of an interesting group with the adjoining terrace on the west side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the east side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric. The raised render detail enlivens the façade and the building is enhanced by the retention of the timber sliding sash windows.
