Shared gabled return. Pitched gabled slate roof with intersecting gabled dormer roof. Red brick chimneystack to apex of gabled side elevation and return, each having stringcourse, dog-tooth cornice and plain clay pots. Red brick walls laid in English garden wall bond with corbelled brick eaves course, with moulded red brick sill course doubling as frieze architrave.

Square-headed window openings, with continuous limestone lintel bands at ground and first floor level, red brick reveals, continuous limestone or moulded red brick sill courses, one-over-one timber sash windows with ogee horns and cylinder glass. Partially glazed timber-framed entrance porch with turned plain timber vertical supports joined timber balustrade. Tiled entrance platform. Square-headed door opening, continuous limestone ashlar lintel, reveals and limestone threshold step. Plain doorframe with raised and fielded panelled timber door with stop-chamfer detailing and glazed upper panels. Plain cylinder glass overlight.

Appraisal
This house is a largely intact example within this uniform terrace of houses. The group composition of which is emphasised by the repetition of vertical elements, i.e., the full-height bay windows, the horizontal limestone lintel bands, first floor limestone sill course and red brick sill course at attic level.
