II

Small house at lower end of row. Early to mid C19. Portland ashlar in small sizes, large flush quoins, asbestos-cement slate roof. Two storeys and attic, 1-windowed. All 4-pane sashes, including raked half-dormer; C20 door, left. Ground and first-floor openings have good flush voussoirs. Brick stack to right, slightly raised coping left; on plain rendered return remains of flues from demolished adjoining property. To right across frontage a low wall in large stone block to high flat saddle coping returns to front of house; to left a worn stone step and, set back, a large rectangular pier. Modest, but better retained than most houses in this street and representative of their artisan origins.
