Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods, with decorative timber bargeboards to canopy.

Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door, overlight and timber architrave.
Appraisal
The large size of this house makes it a very important and imposing component of the town's main street. The regular façade adds to this impact and is heightened by the retention of the one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to all openings. The canopy to the door is an unusual feature and provides the building with a decorative focal point.
