Hipped slate roof, having cement rendered chimneystacks with clay pots, and with cast-iron rainwater goods to south elevation. Red brick walls, laid in Flemish bond, with curved gabled with carved limestone coping and finial, having raised red brick pilasters to ends of facade with limestone corbels and finials, and with double-height round-headed recess to first and second floors, with double-height canted oriel window. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls to south elevation. Oriel has timber casement frames, with decoratively carved timber panels over with timber balustrade. Tripartite round-headed opening to attic storey, with red brick and carved limestone reveals and carved limestone keystone with segmental pediment, red brick hood-moulding and timber casement windows.
Appraisal
This street was subject to significant rebuilding in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and is now dominated by modest brick retail and office buildings. The pleasant oriel window to the upper floors places this building in an early twentieth-century context and, along with the moulded red brick detailing, adds visual interest to the streetscape.
