Decorative moulded cornice to upper gable-front having moulded render blind oculus above. Segmental-headed window and door openings to front, with moulded render surrounds, render sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and integral porch with timber panelled door.

Appraisal
With its fine decorative façade, this early twentieth-century house is a notable part of the streetscape and was built as a pair with its neighbour. It has good render details to its window and door openings and the decorative cornice and oculus add further interest. This house is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows.
