Pitched artificial slate roof, artificial ridge tiles, ashlar limestone corbelled chimneystack with yellow clay pots, extruded profiled aluminium gutters on corbelled eaves course. Painted smooth-rendered ruled-and-lined walling to south elevation, unpainted to gable. Square-headed window openings, moulded render corbelled hood mouldings, painted stone sills, uPVC casement windows.

Appraisal
This building was clearly built as part of a formally-planned, classically-detailed, set-piece which mainly fronts onto Teeling Street. Its close proximity to the courthouse suggests the original use may have been as judges lodgings. It has some good quality features including a stone chimneystack and original fanlight.
