Painted smooth rendered ruled-and-lined walls. Square-headed window openings having painted stone sills and timber sliding sash windows, three-over-three pane with convex horns to top floor and six-over-six pane to first floor and boarded over replacement timber frame to ground floor.

Appraisal
Although falling gradually into dereliction, this building is a rare survival of historic fabric including the large roof slates, timber sash windows and door. Its traditional application of classical arrangement to the front façade is typical of many small terraced rural town dwellings from the early nineteenth or even late eighteenth century right up to the early 1900s. Retention of such buildings helps to retain the historic character of streetscapes where such structures are often replaced or altered beyond recognition one by one.
