Mid C19th (possibly earlier) building in a buff coloured brick with red brick detailing, possibly originally a coach house or similar, now converted into two flats but retaining lots of attractive original features. The building is divided into three bays of a roughly equal size by two wide brick pilasters. At the ground floor level, the outer two bays each with large openings that have painted (blue) timber garage doors. The opening within the south eastern bay is likely the original as there is a segmental arch in brick located above it. The opening within the north western bay is a later insertion, the presence of two smaller brick segmental arches above it indicate the former site of two small openings here. There are two doors within the central bay, both giving access to the flats on the floors above, both are in a painted (blue) timber and have a large window above the transom over the door. A modern light is attached to the wall above the southernmost of these two doors and there is a small (possibly original) vent located between them. Two further brick segmental arches are located over these doors. All of these arches are at approximately the same level. There is a brick string course at approximately half ground floor height running across the south eastern and central bays, including the pilasters, this appears to have been removed on the north western bay. The brickwork on the ground floor differs in colour to that present across the first floor, though appears to be the same brick suggesting, therefore, that the ground floor may have been painted at one point and this paint has since been removed. There are two windows in each of the outer bays at the first floor level, all have a semi-circular upper half with a corresponding semi-circular arch above it in red brick. A brick cornice with dentil detailing is located above these windows and below the eaves of the roof on both of the outer bays. There is a wide opening within the central bay which has been blocked with painted (blue) timber, it has a large stone lintel and is divided into three parts by two decorative timber pilasters. The outer two sections are not as wide as the central portion and their upper parts are glazed with four small square panes, divided by timber glazing bars. This wide opening presumably originally had a function associated with the use of the building as a coach house. There is a third floor/attic room rising above the central bay which has a large gable dormer spanning its entire width. There is a large Diocletian style window within this dormer with a semi-circular arch in red brick surrounding it. The central portion of this opening is blocked with timber while the outer two parts are divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. There is a stepped brick cornice located beneath the eaves within this dormer. Two small raised areas of brick run from the base of the roof level within this dormer to the top of the first floor and are bottomed by two stone brackets. There are two metallic structural pins located at the tops of the brick pilasters framing the central bay, near to the base of these stone brackets. The area between the base of the window within the dormer and the lintel over the first floor has brick decoratively bonded to form diamonds. There is a large and original timber bracket with a hook attached to this brick work, again this is likely associated with the buildings former use and may have been used to manoeuvre cargo onto coaches. There is a gutter down pipe located over the south eastern party wall, this appears to be in metal and may be original. A few modern features are attached to the façade including modern vents as well as a security system and the light mentioned above. Overall this is a good and rare survival of a building of this type in Dover and although it has been converted (in the year 2000) it retains many of its original features, some of which have a strong link to its original use. There is some staining to the brickwork but aside from this, the structure is in a good condition with no obvious crack or vegetation growth.

There are four openings at the ground floor level. The outer two consist of large double garage doors, while the central two are narrower single width doors. All are in timber painted blue. The upper parts of both garage doors are glazed and divided into eight panes by timber glazing bars. There is a rectangular window located above the transom over each of the central two doors meaning all the segmental arches over the openings align. All the ground floor door frames are in timber painted white. There are two widows in each of the two outer bays at the first-floor level. All are divided into two panes by a timber transom, and all appear to be fixed in place. The upper halves of these four windows are semi-circular and there is a corresponding semi-circular brick arch above each. They all appear to be later replacements but are in-keeping with the style and age of the building, with timber frames. The central bay is occupied by a large opening which has been divided into three parts by timber pilasters and has been largely blocked with painted (blue) timber. The upper parts of the outer two sections are glazed and consist of four small rectangular panes divided by timber glazing bars. There is a large gabled dormer spanning the width of the central bay at the roof level. This has a large, semi-circular Diocletian style window within it. The central part of this window is blocked by timber while the outer two sections are divided into multiple square panes by timber glazing bars. The arch of the semi-circle means that some of these panes are only partial. It is unlikely that any of the windows or doors are original but they are in an in-keeping style and are in a good condition.

The roof is in slate and gabled with the gable ends over each of the party walls. There is a large gable dormer in its south western face (discussed above) the ridge of this has ceramic tiles. The main structure of the roof does not rise to a triangular apex, instead it flattens at the point where the ridge over the dormer meets the main structure. There is metallic flashing which has been decoratively cut at the point where the pitched part of the roof meets the flat top. There is a large modern aerial attached centrally to the roof, and modern bird repelling features attached to the flat top section. Overall it appears to be in a good condition with no obvious slipped tiles and no bowing.

Rare example of a building of this type in Dover. In a good condition. On a similar scale (though wider) as many of the buildings located on this narrow muse style street. The busy two way traffic detracts from the small and quiet feel of this side street.(1)
