End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey house, extant 1838[?], with shopfront to ground floor. Reroofed. Replacement pitched fibre-cement slate roof with ridge tiles terminating in rendered chimney stacks having concrete stepped capping supporting terracotta tapered pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves boards on rendered cut-limestone eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Timber shopfront to ground floor on a symmetrical plan. Square-headed window openings (first floor) with cut-limestone sills, and concealed dressings framing six-over-six timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Street fronted with concrete brick cobbled footpath to front.
A house representing an integral component of the built heritage of Westport. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original or sympathetically replicated fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, including a Classically-composed shopfront of artistic interest making a pleasing visual statement in Bridge Street at street level.
