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 set back from and at a slightly lower level than its western neighbour (No. 15) but is level with No. 17 to the east. It is in a stock brick which is rendered across all floors, this render is painted cream. There are some cracks and discolouration in the render and some chips in the paintwork. 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 six concrete steps. There is a door beneath these steps which provides separate access to the basement level. There are five pilasters at the ground floor level, one on either side of both the window and the door, with a further over the eastern party wall, 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 though they lack the triangular pediments present on the buildings to the west. Some of this plasterwork detailing surrounding the first floor windows and across the ground floor is weathered and stained. The second floor windows align with the first floor windows, these have protruding sills but lack the detailing apparent on the surrounds of the first floor. There is some substantial iron staining located below the eastern second floor window, it is unclear what has caused this. There is a projecting cornice below a low parapet over the second floor, the plaster and paintwork on this cornice and parapet is chipped and cracked as there is a small amount of vegetation growth. An amount of untidy wiring is attached to the façade at several locations and there are a number of modern features, including a security system. In the front of the house there is a low stuccoed brick wall with iron railing above and stuccoed gate piers separating a small paved 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, these are all painted cream. The rear elevation is in flint with brick dressings. There are shallow rendered bay windows located across all floors, on the eastern side of the rear façade. A number of modern gutter and waste water down pipes cross the rear elevation. Despite some cracks and staining in the render the building is in a fair to good condition with a number of surviving original features.

There are six windows located across the façade, all are all original 16-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 western side of the door. There is a further flat roofed dormer at the roof level with a later 8 pane casement window, the paintwork on the surround of this dormer is badly chipped. All of the windows apart from the dormer are four panes high by four wide. 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 blue. 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 and glass within the western second floor window has been replaced with opaque glass. The window and door frames are in timber painted white. All of the windows are in a good condition, despite some chipped paintwork. The windows on the rear elevation were not clearly seen but appear to be mostly original timber framed sashes and in a good condition though some chipped paintwork is visible.

The roof is gabled with the gable ends over both party walls. It is in a Welsh slate. There are rendered stacks over party walls, some of the render on this stack is chipped and flaking away. There is a large modern aerial located just behind the parapet at the roof level. Both the stack and the roof are in a good condition. (1)
