Description

To the left, there is an original entrance with a moulded wood doorcase, a pediment, an arched fanlight, and a six-panelled door. The right-hand house has a facsimile entrance. The building is topped with a hipped slate roof. The Porch House is part of a group that includes Nos 42 to 64 (even), 64A, 64B, and Nos 66 to 92 (even).
