Flight of limestone steps leading to entrance door, with cast-iron railings set on limestone plinths.
Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining former house to the west, this pair contributes to the streetscape, due to the scale and form of the buildings. Though many interesting features and materials have been replaced this building remains part of an imposing pair and retains much of it's original form. The building is enhanced by the retention of the limestone steps and cast-iron railings.
