Hipped slate roof set perpendicular to street with shared red brick chimneystacks behind red brick parapet wall having masonry coping. Red brick wall laid in Flemish bond. Diminishing gauged brick square-headed window openings with masonry sills and single-pane timber sliding sash windows throughout.

Square-headed door opening to east of shopfront with timber panelled door.
Appraisal
This building largely mimics the form and fabric of its neighbours, maintaining the parapet height, fenestration rhythm and a simple yet symmetrical façade. Consequently, it makes a positive contribution to the overall streetscape while the retention of historic features, such as timber sash windows, adds to its architectural significance. It forms part of a terrace lining the north side of Talbot Street which was laid out in the 1840s.
