Square-headed window openings, alternating red and yellow brick jambs and arches, stone sills, uPVC and varnished timber casement windows, cast-iron balconette to first floor gable window. Square-headed door opening to south of east elevation, gauged brick splayed yellow and red brick arch, varnished timber four-panel door (similar door opening to north side of east elevation built up).

Appraisal
This unusual house echoes, in a more simple manner, the former estate worker's house further south. The dominant theme of alternating brick colours is quite distinctive. Architecturally significant detail such as the crested ridge tiles and fretwork bargeboards make an important contribution to the streetscape.
