Description

On the first floor, the windows include guards and a narrow central window with margin lights. The ground floor has a tripartite window on the left side, a canted three-light bay window with a slate roof on the right side, and a central entrance featuring a pilastered wood doorcase with a cornice supported by consoles, a four-panelled door, and a plain rectangular fanlight. The property also includes contemporary forecourt railings and a gate.
