Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows.

Smooth render boundary wall with stone coping surmounted by spear-headed cast-iron railings with square-profile piers and narrow vehicular gate.
Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining house to the east, this house forms part of a pair whose large scale contrasts with its neighbours, making it an eye-catching addition in this eclectic group. The slightly irregular fenestration and off centre door are quirky and curious features in a design which would seem to strive for classical regularity. The timber sliding sash windows and fine railings and gates are among the noteworthy traditional features.
