Square-headed window opening with render sill to side (west) elevation having four-pane timber casement window.

Appraisal
A fine house which was built as one of a pair with the adjoining building to the west. Though some features have been replaced, the slate hanging, pedimented doorcase and timber sliding sash windows add much to the pair's character and charm. The pair's location and scale suggest that it was originally built by prosperous local merchants.
