Square-headed window openings with render sills, surrounds and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows.

Recent concrete pier with wrought and galvanised-iron gate to side (south).
Appraisal
This charming house marks the start of a short historic terrace and is an integral component of the streetscape. The house has a much character with off centred windows to the first floor which do not directly align with the openings to the ground floor. It has also retained much of its historic fabric including sash windows and a fine slate roof. Simple artistic elements such as a sill band and raised render opening surrounds enhance the facade. Attention is drawn to a slightly unusual door opening by a chamfered door jamb and tripartite overlight.
