Square-headed window openings, granite sills, chamfered reveals to canted bay window openings, painted timber one-over-one sliding sash windows.

Appraisal
Built at same time and in same style as its neighbour to the east, this house is an attractive addition to the streetscape. The retention of original features such as the brackets, adding an almost ornamental quality to the downpipe, and the sliding sash windows are worthy of particular note. This pair of houses add to the varied and attractive architecture found on Saint Mary's Road.
