Small mid C19th (possibly earlier) domestic cottage style building in a brown brick. Forms part of a terrace fronting immediately onto the street on the south western side of Queens Gardens (20-27). There is a single window on each floor, aligning across the floors. These windows are located on the north western half of the façade with a door on their south eastern side. There is a flat gauged brick arch over each of these windows, both of which have been painted white, and small protruding stone sills, also painted white. The door is set within a slight recess in the façade and there are is a small step up to it. There is a blocked semi-circular window above the transom over the door and there is a corresponding arch in the brickwork surrounding it, this is painted white. A parapet with stone (?) coping is located over the first floor at the roof level. There is a (blocked) rectangular opening with a small modern vent located at the pavement level, directly below the ground floor window, highlighting the presence of a basement below the ground floor. It is possible that this opening may have originally functioned as a coal shoot or similar. A few modern features are attached to the façade and their associated wiring is draped untidily across the façade. The brickwork is discoloured and paintwork over the windows and door is dirty and chipped in places, otherwise the building is in a good condition and appears to be structurally sound.

There are two windows, one per floor both of which are un-painted timber framed sashes, divided into 16 panes by timber glazing bars, and are possibly original. Four of the 16 panes on both windows have ‘bullseye’ marks. The door is in a painted (white) and looks to be a later, though in-keeping, replacement. It has four panels; two in the lower part and two larger rectangular opaque glazed panels in the upper half. There is a small blocked semi-circular fanlight above the transom over the door. Both the windows and door are in a good condition.

The roof was not clearly seen from the road, but information gathered from local residents have informed that it is a double apex roof in slate with guttering gathering water between the two apexes. The top of a central brick stack is visible from the road, with the corresponding fireplaces likely located between the front and rear rooms, and there appears to be a small amount of vegetation growth immediately behind the parapet.

On a similar small scale 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)
