Red brick walls laid in Flemish bond with cement re-pointing terminating a parapet wall with concrete coping and rendered to basement. Gauged brick flat-arched window openings with patent reveals, painted stone sills and uPVC windows. One-over-one timber sash windows to return. Gauged brick round-arched door opening with replacement timber door flanked by timber pilasters and scrolled console brackets with spoked fanlight above.

A modest terraced former house forming part of an extensive terrace occupying the entire north side of Lower Hartstonge Street. While many external features have been replaced, the original façade composition, door surround and railings remain intact. Together with the remainder of the terrace, this house presents an original aspect to this intact streetscape.
