Roughcast rendered walls to upper floors having corbelled eaves course, and decorative render surrounds to openings.

Fixed timber windows and pair of timber glazed doors with toplight to ground floor.
Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining building to the west, this pair makes a positive contribution to the streetscape, due to the scale and form of the pair. Notable architectural features of the building include the tripartite windows and segmental-arched windows. The façade of the building is articulated by the decorative render detail, which was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen.
