Corbelled limestone cornice to parapet. Random coursed rock-faced walls with tooled limestone quoins, string courses, plinth and block-and-start surrounds to openings. Windows have stone sills and replacement uPVC frames with sash windows to side elevations. Cut stone box-bay tripartite window to ground floor.

Wrought-iron gates and railings to street front with wrought-iron gates and piers to south side.
Appraisal
The variation in the treatment of the stonework on this house creates an interesting textural effect. It is particularly notable and clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The simple form of the building is enhanced by the box-bay window, railings and stained glass sidelights, which add technical and artistic interest.
