Square-headed door openings with double-leaf half-glazed timber panelled doors.
Appraisal
This house retains much of its early form and character, and brickwork detailing which adds decorative interest. The range of construction materials is similar to the neighbouring houses, bringing coherence to the streetscape. While the shopfront is relatively recent, the building has a long established commercial use, and it enlivens its corner site. Thom's Directory of 1890 indicates a grocer's shop in this building, run by one William Daly.
