Snecked limestone walls with tooled limestone quoins. Square-headed window openings with block-and-start red brick surrounds, stone sills and replacement uPVC windows.

Appraisal
This house forms an interesting pair with its smaller neighbour on Burke's Lane. The tooled limestone walls and contrasting red brick dressings give the building an artistic quality and adds interest to the streetscape. The decorative red brick corbelling below the eaves and the red brick segmental arches are interesting features. Although the building has been altered to the south by the insertion of a recent shopfront, it still retains its original form and is a fine contributor to the streetscape.
