Square-headed openings having replacement uPVC windows and limestone sills. Segmental-headed openings having render spoked fanlight over timber panelled door with flanking Doric-style engaged columns. Limestone steps to entrance.

Recent brick walls to front (north-east) elevation having metal railings.
Appraisal
This house retains its elegantly proportioned form and is enlivened by the ornate doorcase. Though some of its historic fabric has been lost, this could be reinstated, and thus much character regained.
