Hipped slate roof with ridge running perpendicular to street and hidden behind front parapet wall with granite coping. Ruled-and-lined cement rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with granite sills and replacement single-pane timber sash windows with convex horns. Landscape fixed-pane timber display window to ground floor and square-headed door opening with recent timber panelled door and rectangular overlight. Door opens onto concrete paved platform and two scored granite steps opening on to street.
Appraisal
A late eighteenth-century townhouse that retains very little of it historic exterior fabric. However, the overall façade composition remains readable as a former townhouse, with its elegant proportions, fenestration pattern and roof parapet intact. The building continues to contribute to the historic appearance of the terrace, and streetscape.
