Forms part of a terrace of 9, mid C19th houses of a double depth plan, located on the northern side of Norman Street. The whole build is slightly recessed and at a lower level than its eastern neighbour (No 13) but flush with its western (No. 11). It is in a stock brick which is rendered across all floors, this render is painted pale pink while the plasterwork detailing is painted white. There are numerous very large cracks within the render across the façade, and the paintwork is badly chipped and discoloured in several locations. The door is located on the western side of the façade, close to the western party wall, with a single window at the ground floor level on its eastern side. The ground floor is raised from the street level and the front door is accessed via a set of five concrete steps. There is a door beneath these steps which provides separate access to the basement level. There are four pilasters at the ground floor level, one on either side of both the window and the door, supporting an entablature with triglyphs and first floor level. There are two windows at the first floor level, these do not align with those on the ground floor. Both have moulded plasterwork surrounds, small protruding sills and triangular pediments on console brackets located above. This plasterwork detail is badly weathered and discoloured and there is some vegetation growth attached to the entablature. The second floor windows align with the first floor windows, these also have protruding sills but lack the detailing apparent on the first floor windows over and on their surrounds. There is a projecting moulded cornice below a low parapet over the second floor. This cornice is painted white to match the plasterwork on the rest of the façade, while the parapet is rendered but un-painted with some vegetation growth attached to it. In the front of the house there is a low stuccoed brick wall with stuccoed gate piers separating a small concreted garden area from the street. Two further low walls with stuccoed gate piers with moulded caps are located on either side of the steps up to the doorway. There are further large cracks to the plaster work on these walls and gate piers. There are iron area railings located in front of the basement level, these are painted black and are possibly original. A gutter down pipe is located in the angle created by the projecting neighbouring house on the eastern side, over the eastern party wall. This runs through a small gap just below the cornice down to the basement level, there is a lot of vegetation growth attached to this down pipe, particularly within its hopper at the top. A quantity of untidy wiring, some of which look redundant and some possibly associated with an aerial attached to the dormer at the roof level, is draped very untidily across the façade. The rear elevation is in flint and brick with coursed brick dressings. There is a fair amount of staining and a number of large cracks visible. A number of modern gutter and waste water down pipes cross the rear elevation and there is a single story extension in brick and flint rubble, with a shed roof, located over the back door. The building is in a fair to poor condition though it is unclear as to whether the large cracks visible in the render across the façade indicate structural problems. Though many of the original decorative details survive these are also in a fairly poor condition.

There are six windows located across the façade, all are all original 12-pane sashes divided by timber glazing bars. The first and second floor windows align across the floors, while the single ground floor and basement windows are located slightly off centre, on the eastern side of the door. There is a further flat roofed dormer at the roof level this has a later, two pane frame. The door is located on the western side of the façade, abutting the western party wall. It is a C19 panelled door in timber painted red. The upper two panels are glazed in an opaque glass. There is a rectangular overlight located above the transom over the door, also with opaque glass. The window and door frames are in timber painted white. The windows on the rear elevation also appear to be original timber sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The paintwork on these frames is badly discoloured and chipped, those on the rear elevation appear to be in a worse condition than those at the front. There is also some major damage on the lower part of the door. Despite this damage to the frames all panes are present and there is no obvious damage to the glass, though it is dirty.

The roof is gabled with the gable ends over both party walls. It is in a Welsh slate with ceramic ridge tiles. There are rendered stacks over party walls the western is missing its chimney pots. Both the stack and the roof are in a good condition. (1)
