Depressed-arched door opening with moulded reveal and painted masonry doorcase comprising flat engaged pilasters and foliated corbels supporting panelled lintel cornice with original cobweb fanlight.

Appraisal
This carefully maintained, well-proportioned ‘fourth class’ Georgian house retains many original features, such as its fine doorcase with original fanlight and its windows, including an eight-over-eight pane ground floor window, and makes a fine contribution to this substantially intact early nineteenth-century streetscape. The building, in common with its neighbours provides a rare example of a basement with a covered area beneath the pavement, which is less well known than its grander equivalents with open basement areas.
