Smooth-rendered walls with raised fascia to eaves, stucco quoins, continuous sill courses and raised plinth. Cornice to porch supported on moulded render brackets with pilasters to all elevations (tetrastyle arrangement to east elevation). Square-headed and round-headed (porch) window openings with moulded render surrounds, stone sills and replacement one-over-one timber sash windows.

Appraisal
Converted to apartments, this building has retained its historic external character. The decorative stucco elements added to the house later in the nineteenth century illustrate the Victorian taste for architectural embellishment which transformed the simple classical design of this late-Georgian house.
