Forms the western end of a block of four houses, all are part of a single build. The front garden area is in concrete and currently used for off-road parking. There is a modern metal fence separating this front garden area from No 5’s on the western side. A large mature tree is located next to this fence.

Circa mid C19 forms the western end of a small block of four dwellings (1-4 Saxon Street). The ground floor doorway is located within a 3-storey porch set back from the main façade on the western side, this is accessed via a set of three steps. It is set within a slight recess and there is a modern light attached to the wall on its western side. A possibly original C19th iron balustrade is located on the western side of these steps with an original stuccoed gate pier. The whole of the ground floor, including the ground floor of the porch, and the basement, is stuccoed and painted cream. There is a deep entablature over the ground floor with four stuccoed pilasters with capitals beneath; one located over the eastern party wall, one on the corner between the main façade and return toward the porch and one on either side of the door. The first and second floors within the porch are also rendered, as is the return wall between the main façade and this porch. The stucco at the basement level is slightly advanced and flush with the pilasters. There is a single window at the ground floor level, located centrally within the main facade. The upper floors of the main façade are in an exposed sock brick and there are two windows per floor at both the first and second floor levels; one located centrally within the main façade, aligning with the ground floor window and another aligning with the door within the porch. All have small projecting sills and the first-floor windows have flat gauged brick arches above. A final window is located at the basement level, aligning with the ground floor window within the main façade. There is a deep stuccoed band and stucco scrolled brackets located under the overhanging eaves on the main portion of the façade. This band continues onto the three-story porch but the eaves do not overhang here, rather a small parapet rises over the roof level. The rear elevation is in a random flint and brick rubble, it was not clearly seen but appears to have a single window per floor and a back door located close to the western party wall. The building is in a good condition and structurally sound.

Most of the windows appear to be the original timber framed sashes, aside from the basement window which is a modern casement window. The three located on the main façade are all divided into 12-panes by timber glazing bars (three wide by four high). Those located above the door are also timber framed sashes but are slightly narrower being only two panes wide. The door is in painted (grey) timber and modern, though is in-keeping to the style and age of the building. It has five glazed panels in its upper half. There is a small rectangular window located above the transom over the door, also with a timber frame. All of the window frames are painted grey. The windows within the rear elevations were not clearly seen but appear to be original sash windows, divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. All the windows, including those which are original, are in a good condition.

The roof is hipped with deeply overhanging eaves on stuccoed scrolled brackets. There is a slight parapet at the roof level over the porch area on the eastern side of the building. The roof slates have been replaced by plain tiles with ceramic tiles over the ridges. There is a tall rendered axial stack over ridge on the eastern side of the building, some of the render on this has fallen away exposing the brickwork beneath. Both the roof structure and the stack appear to be in a good condition. (1)
