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 slightly advanced from both its south eastern and north western neighbours. It is large and symmetrical in an exposed brown brick. The door is located centrally and is within a porch that projects from the façade, with fluted ironic columns and solid stuccoed parapet between the columns. The plasterwork on this porch is slightly stained in places and there is a small amount of vegetation growth above it. It is raised from the street level and accessed via two sets of eight steps, located on either side of the porch, with an original iron balustrade on the eastern side of each a set. The door is round headed with a semi-circular fanlight above the transom over the door. The area on either side of the door is rendered and there is a moulded architrave on the surround. There are two windows on either side of the door at the ground floor level, all four are round headed and the outer two are set within slight recesses within the brickwork. There are five windows per floor on both the first and second floor level, all aligning with the openings at the ground floor level. All have flat gauged brick arches above and small protruding sills. The central first floor window is set within a stuccoed reveal with a moulded architrave over. The brickwork on the end window bays projects slightly from the central. There is a moulded dropped stone cornice at the top of the second floor with a rendered parapet above, there is some staining and weathering to both this cornice and the parapet. Some of the brickwork across the façade has been repaired and repointed. The different colours of the pointing at various locations makes the façade look untidy. The area beneath the ground floor is rendered and painted cream, there are a few small cracks in this render and several large vents indicating the likely presence of a basement below this building. The southern (side) elevation is visible over the south eastern neighbouring building which is only two storeys in height. This side elevation is also in an exposed brown brick. There is a single window visible at the second floor level near the south eastern corner of the building, like the others it has a flat gauged brick arch over and projecting sill. A brick parapet with stone coping rises above this elevation and a possibly original metal gutter down pipe with decorative hopper at its top runs through a small gap in the brickwork on the western side of the window. Overall despite some small areas of untidiness this is a well-kept and attractive building with a number of surviving original features. It appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.

The ground floor door, which is located centrally and within a porch is likely original. It is a double door in timber painted black with six moulded panels. It is round headed and a semi-circular window divided into 6 panes by timber glazing bars and with a timber frame, is located above the transom over the door. There are four windows at the ground floor level, two on either side of the door. All are round headed and consist of timber framed sashes divided into 12 panes by timber glazing bars. There are five windows at both the first and second floor levels, aligning with the openings on the ground floor below. All consist of timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes. The first floor windows are divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high) and are much taller than the second floor windows which are divided into six panes (three wide by two high). The window visible at the second floor level on the side elevation is also small and divided into six rectangular panes. All of the timber frames are painted white and overall all windows are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof level was not clearly visible as it is located behind a parapet though a brick stack was visible over the south eastern party wall. (1)
