Forms part of a terrace of C19th buildings located on the south western side of London Road on a raised pavement which is separated from the busy London Road below by a possibly original iron railing. The building is slightly recessed from its south eastern neighbour but flush with its north western and is in an exposed brown brick with a rendered and painted (white) basement level. The door is located on the north western side of the façade, immediately abutting the north western party wall; it is raised from the street level and accessed via a set of six steps, these steps are untidy with a fair amount of vegetation growth attached to them. There is a brick wall with (later) iron railing above on the northern side of the steps and a possibly original iron balustrade on the southern. The door is round headed with a semi-circular fanlight above the transom over the door, this is shared with the door of the north western neighbour. Two decorative painted pilasters are located over the jambs on either side of this door. A further door is located beneath the steps up to the ground floor, providing separate access to the basement level. There is a window located centrally within the façade at the basement, ground, first and second floor levels, aligning across the floors and located within a slight recess in the brickwork. All have flat gauged brick arches above (though the render at the basement level obscures that over the basement window) and small protruding sills. Two further windows are located at the first and second floor level, these align with the ground floor door and immediately abut the windows over the door of the neighbouring building, these also have flat gauged brick arches above. A rendered and painted string course is located near the base of the first floor and forms a continuous sill to both first floor windows. There is a rendered and painted (black) parapet at the top of the second floor level, the paintwork on this is in a poor condition and flaking away in several locations, particularly at the top of the parapet. A flat roofed dormer window is located just behind the parapet, just off centre within the roof level. A possibly original gutter down pipe runs through a gap in the brickwork just below this parapet level, down to the basement level over the south eastern party wall. Lots of modern features are attached to the brickwork including three aerials, the wiring for which is attached untidily to the façade in several locations. The brickwork across the façade is slightly stained and weathered in places, this is particularly bad at the top of the second floor and there are numerous areas where holes have been punched in the brickwork (for vents etc.) with untidy repairs. A low brick wall is located in front of the building and on the south eastern side of the front garden separating it from the street level and the neighbouring garden area. This has a decorative and modern iron railing above which continues onto the wall located on the northern side of the steps up to the ground floor door. Overall this building is untidy slightly untidy, it appears however to be structurally sound with no major cracks in the brickwork.

The ground floor door is possibly original and in timber painted black with four rectangular panels. There is a semi circular window above the transom over the ground floor door, this is shared with the south eastern neighbouring building and appears to be a later insertion consisting of four opaque panes. The basement level window is modern, it is also in timber painted black. The base of this door was not visible from the street level but the upper half is glazed and divided into multiple rectangular panes by timber glazing bars. There are seven windows located across the façade, one at the basement and ground floor levels, two at the first and second floor levels and final at the roof level. All of the windows on the southern side of the door, apart from the basement, appear to be possibly original timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars (12 panes on the first and ground floors nine of the second floor). The basement level windows glazing has been altered; it is divided into four small rectangular panes in its upper half while the lower is divided into four large rectangular panes. The first floor window above the door is covered by a modern metal grill which is in a fairly poor condition and untidy. The second floor window aligning with the door is likely original and a timber framed sash divided into eight panes by timber glazing bars and separated from the window on its northern side by a timber mullion. The dormer window is divided into multiple panes of differing sized and appears to be a mix of casement and sash. The hinges on the casements are badly rusted and overall this dormer is in a poor condition with a rotten frame. Some of the paintwork on the other windows is chipped and dirty though all panes are present and intact.

The roof is mansard and in slate with metallic flashing at the join between the angles. A flat roofed dormer is located just of centre (discussed above). The roof structure appears to be in a good condition with no obvious bowing or slipped slates. (1)
