Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, brick corbelled chimneystacks, cast-iron gutters on moulded brick corbelled eaves course with dog-tooth frieze, circular cast-iron downpipes.

Camber-headed door opening, recessed chamfered brick surround, plain-glazed overlight, painted timber door with four flat panels, tooled limestone steps to entrance.

Appraisal
This is an attractive example of terraced housing developments in the late-nineteenth century. Simple decorative detail to the cornice, canted-bay window and door surround is a typical of the period, as are the highly decorative cast-iron railings which add an artistic note to the structure. The group of five, of which this is an integral part, form a distinctive and very attractive unit within the streetscape.
