Unpainted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings (remodelled, c.1920, to ground floor) with stone sills. One 1/1 timber sash window. Replacement fixed-pane timber display windows, c.1920, to remodelled opening. Replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1995, to remainder.

Appraisal
This house, built as part of a small-scale complex with the house immediately to south-west (22502412/WD-5632-21-1431), retains some of its original form, character, and original fabric. The remodelled opening to ground floor is of interest as evidence of a subsequent conversion to part-commercial use in the early twentieth century. The house is an important component of the streetscape, contributing to the historic character of Barrack Street, while forming the corner site linking to Mayor’s Walk.
