Square-headed window openings, block-and-start red brick jambs, granite lintels and sills, uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening, block-and-start red brick jambs, granite lintel, painted timber door with vertically- and diagonally-sheeted panels, plain-glazed overlight.

Appraisal
This attractive house is unusual in being half of an unmatched pair. Probably designed by N. A. Mills, the railway architect, in complements rather than mirrors its neighbour. The high level of craftsmanship shown in the stone and brickwork combined with the quirky detailing adds to its artistic significance. Part of a group of well-designed buildings on Euston Street, it continues to play a vital role in Greenore's legacy of railroad architecture.
