Elliptical-headed door opening to house with moulded rendered surround, glazed timber panelled double doors, sidelights, and overlight.

Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house, built as one of a pair (with 22816025/WD-26-16-25), which retains its original form, and most of its original fabric. The house is distinguished by a fine porch, the Gothic-style appearance of which is in contrast with the Georgian-style appearance to the remainder. The house, together with the second in the pair, forms an important element of the streetscape, and contributes to the visual appeal of Priest’s Road.
