Gauged brick segmental-headed window openings with limestone sills and single-pane timber sash windows with ogee horns and historic glass throughout. Shallow projecting bay to ground floor with pair of window openings having bowtel reveals and a continuous limestone sill. Gauged brick segmental-headed door opening with bowtel moulding and a recessed door opening.

Appraisal
This former house appears to be in very good condition despite the changes incurred for its commercial use. It forms part of an estate in which all of the houses are in good condition. The terrace marks the transition between the high density large-scale Georgian city and the lower density suburbs.
