Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Appraisal
This building makes an interesting addition to the streetscape due to its highly-decorative façade involving render features such as pilasters, quoins and window surrounds. The cast-iron fascia is a particularly notable and unusual feature of the building and is representative of the high quality and execution of iron-casting in the nineteenth century.
