Rough-cast rendered walls to first floor and rendered walls to ground floor having Doric style pilasters to end bays. Square-headed openings to first floor with render continuous sill course and bipartite twelve-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows having banded Doric style engaged columns to timber mullions.

Appraisal
An appealing, small scale house incorporating distinctive features, such as the bipartite window openings, which contribute to the architectural value of the composition. Reasonably well maintained, the house retains much of its original form and massing, together with some important salient features and materials, and significantly enhances the streetscape value of Sheares Street.
