Smooth rendered walls with continuous sills course at first floor level. Square-headed window openings with incised render surrounds at first floor level, render sills and two-over-two timber sliding sash windows.

Appraisal
Well-maintained, this house with former ground floor commercial outlet is a fine example of the combined residential and commercial use of buildings in urban areas in the past. The simple shopfront is an excellent example of its type and contrasts with the historical pastiche shopfronts which are to be found elsewhere in this part of the city.
