Description
Terraced four-bay two-storey house over half-basement, built c.1750, with attic accommodation and integral carriage arch. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack, skylight and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Timber sliding sash six-over-six pane windows with stone sills.

Segmental-arch opening with timber battened double-leaf door and stone wheel-guard.
Appraisal
This building's symmetrical form, scale and size make a distinctive contribution to the streetscape. It retains interesting features, such as the decorative overlight and timber panelled door, and is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows. The fine limestone steps and wheel-guard are representative of the quality of materials used in such structures in the nineteenth century.
