Square-headed window openings with brick voussoirs, painted masonry sills and replacement uPVC windows. Voussoirs of blocked ground floor opening above render. Square-headed door with timber battened door and overlight. Chamfered cut granite surround to carriage arch, painted brick spandrels and steel roller-shutter.
Appraisal
The scale and form of this imposing house, with the notable carriage arch, makes a significant contribution to the historic character of the streetscape. Though somewhat altered at ground floor level, the diminishing fenestration pattern of the upper floors is characteristic of domestic Georgian architecture, and creates a regular and well-balanced façade which is enhanced by the elegant carriage arch. In 1862 it is listed in Thom’s as being in tenements and was subsequently used for many years as a pawnbroker's.
