Description
This is an early 19th-century town house. It is constructed of Flemish bond brickwork, topped by a slate roof. The house has three storeys and originally comprised three bays, with the right-hand bay being wider. Gable stacks rise from the roof. A 20th-century door, featuring glazing at the top, is set within a late 19th-century timber porch. The windows are sixteen-paned sashes, with 4x2 paned sashes on the second floor. The lower floor windows have flat brick lintels and stone sills. Two dormers are visible at the rear, and the roof extends over a two-storey extension. The house has been modernised, and its original living kitchen occupies the wider bay on the right.
