The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
Left one of a pair of mirror image, three-storey/ two-bay houses directly fronting west side of street.
Gabled natural slate roof with cement-rendered chimney at right (shared with no.31). Ogee cast-iron gutters, with plastic down pipe at right.
Elevation to street has cement lined and rendered walls over projecting base course. Moulded cill course to first floor. Moulded string courses across façade on first and second floors, forming a hood mould over the windows. Each first floor window head is embellished with a shell motif. Also a moulded cornice across top.
At ground floor left is a four-panel (raised and fielded) timber door (with brass furniture), with original five-pane transom light over. Rendered jambs with scrolled and foliated consoles at top supporting a projecting entablature. At right is a 2/2 (horizontally divided) sliding sash window, with moulded architrave (with decorative stucco keystone in head). At first and at second floors are two 2/2 (vertically divided) sliding sash windows. All the windows have exposed boxes and those at top are diminished in height. All the openings are in line except the door, which is offset to the left.
Abutted by a lower building at left; exposed section of gable wall is cement rendered. Abutted by building to right.
No access gained to rear.
Historical information
Shown on the 1835 OS map, and described in the 1835 valuation as of same value as no.33. The 1863 valuation describes it as being 2.25 storeys high. Increase in value from £15 to £22 in 1907 valuation revision suggests a rebuild or major refurbishment at, or shortly before, this date, resulting in the present three storey structure.

Evaluation
Left one of a pair of mirror image, three-storey/ two-bay houses. This house is an example of an earlier building 'modernised' in the latest fashion to the appearance of a late Victorian house with attractive render detailing and has group value in being one of an identical pair.
