Pitched slate roof with smooth rendered chimneystacks and overhanging bracketed eaves with cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls with raised plinth. Square-headed window openings with moulded render surrounds, limestone sills and one-over-one uPVC casement windows having round-headed lights and spandrels to ground floor. Elliptical-headed door opening flanked by fluted engaged Doric columns with spider web fanlight and timber panelled door now contained within flat-roofed single-storey porch having fixed glazing on smooth rendered plinth.

Appraisal
This attractively sited house, overlooking the River Lee, retains its fine early door case which displays well-executed detailing. The render detailing to the window openings and eaves enlivens the buildings symmetrical façade while the crenellated boundary wall is an unusual addition.
