Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1990.

Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive, substantial building that retains its original form to the upper floors. The replacement fittings to the openings do not enhance the appearance of the house, although the shopfront has evidently been designed with reference to traditional forms. The house, together with the second in the pair (22501318/WD-5632-21-330), is an important component of the streetscape of John Street, the tall slender massing identifying the houses on the street.
