End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystacks and render eaves course. Roughcast rendered walls having render plinth course. Square-headed openings with tripartite six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows having flanking two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Square-headed opening to first floor with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash window and limestone sill. Round-headed opening having spoked fanlight over double-leaf timber panelled doors. Rubble limestone boundary walls with render copings and pair of square-profile rubble limestone piers.
This well-proportioned house, built as part of a terrace, retains notable features characteristic of mid nineteenth century domestic architecture. The house presents an early aspect with much of the original features intact including the tripartite sash windows, spoked fanlight and double-leaf doors. The house is of particular importance in the locality, having been built by John Hamilton, Esq.
