Square-headed window openings with stone sills, and 1/1 timber sash windows.

Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair (or possibly originally part of a larger composition) has been very well maintained to present an early aspect, with important original salient features and materials intact. The house is distinguished by an attractive shopfront of artistic significance, although the replacement fittings do not enhance the appearance of the composition. The house, together with the second in the pair (22501114/WD-5632-21-114), forms an important component of the streetscape of Coal Quay.
