Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Replacement timber casement window, c.1975, to ground floor with original 2/2 timber sash window to dormer attic.

Appraisal
An appealing, small-scale house retaining most of the original form and massing, together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, which enhances the historic quality of the composition. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace (22830090/WD-09-30-90), is of additional interest as evidence of the continued provision of local authority-sponsored housing in the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries, and the collective group produces an appealing, low-lying quality in the streetscape, following the topography of the site through the use of a slightly sloping roofline.
