Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door.

Appraisal
A well-appointed substantial house having a prominent impact on the visual appeal of the streetscape on account of individual attributes including the balanced proportions, the solid massing, the steeply-pitched roof, and so on. Despite some alteration works to the ground floor the house elsewhere presents an early aspect retaining much of the historic fabric both to the exterior and to the interior including a simple shopfront of some aesthetic aspirations.
