Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built c.1900, with box bay double window. Shares central front gable with its pair and also shares lean-to slate canopy to ground floor incorporating box-bay. Pitched slate roof with cresting to ridge tiles, red brick chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Timber bargeboards and carved timber brackets to shared gable and moulded cornice and carved timber brackets to canopy. Front elevation has roughcast rendered brick upper walls, red brick Flemish Bond walls to ground floor and smooth render to north gable. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows with rendered sills. Canopy forms slight porch to decoratively-glazed timber panelled door with overlight and dressed stone threshold. Low rendered plinth to boundary with wrought-iron railings and gate with cast-iron piers. Channelled rendered piers with steel gates to rear yard.
One of a pair of attractive early nineteenth-century houses, which retain their original scale and form, as well as much significant fabric. For a house of this scale, the front garden is a feature which becomes popular during this period. It is associated with a revived interest in nature and outdoor activities, not restricted to the wealthier classes.
