Square-headed door openings to additions, with timber and glazed doors.

Appraisal
This well-proportioned and modestly-designed house is enhanced by the retention of features such as the timber sash windows and simply designed doorcase. The house forms part of a group of houses constructed in the mid-nineteenth century along Moore's Road by prosperous families. This house mirrors its neighbour to the south through features such as the diminishing window sizes and centrally-placed doorcase.
