House. Early 19th century. Constructed of stuccoed granite rubble, with a double-span slate hipped roof featuring lead rolls to the hips and ridge. Brick chimney shafts are situated on the side walls. The house has a double-depth plan, featuring a principal room on either side of a central entrance hall, with a slightly wider stairwell at the rear of the hall. Behind the right-hand rooms is a third large room, likely the kitchen, and behind the left-hand room are two small, unheated service rooms.

The two-storey, symmetrical three-bay front has corner pilasters with round-headed panels and paired brackets to the eaves fascia board. Original 16-pane sashes are present, with louvred shutters. The central doorway features panelled reveals, a rectangular overlight with intersecting diamond pattern glazing bars, and a transom with zigzag decoration. A large Doric porch has octagonal columns with reeding, pilasters with paterae, and an entablature with a dentilled cornice and triglyph frieze. Flanking walls left and right have pointed arch doorways; the left-hand doorway has an original door with Gothic cover moulds, and the right-hand doorway has a later boarded door.

The rear elevation includes a large round-headed stair window at the centre with an original 16-pane sash, flanked by tripartite first-floor sashes, a 16-pane sash to the ground floor left, and a 20th-century door to the right.

The interior retains its original plan and features, including an open-well stair with an open string, stick balusters, turned newels, and a moulded handrail. Much of the early 19th-century joinery, such as panelled doors, doorframes, and internal window shutters, remains largely complete, though the original chimneypieces in the front rooms have been removed. Simple moulded ceiling cornices are found in the main front rooms and hall.

The front garden area includes railings with spearheads to the shafts and baluster stanchions with finials. The central gate is 20th-century wrought iron, while the left-hand gate is an original gate for tradesmen.

This largely unaltered early 19th-century house retains virtually complete interior features and makes a valuable contribution to the townscape as an unconverted house in the town centre.
