Late C18 to earlier C19 end-terrace house now offices, with rear outshut.

Occupied by J J Morris, estate agents, 2000.

Three-storey, 2-window range, top floor with square 9-pane sash windows and first floor with 2-12-pane sash windows. Ground floor has big square plate glass shop window set centrally with doorway to right. Half-glazed door with plain overlight. All openings windows have eared surrounds, with keystones to those of ground and first floors.

Outshut rear has end wall with 2 square 9-pane sash windows, one above the other, and rubble rear wall with 9-pane sash under eaves left, walling set back to right to leave exposed an upper window of No 1, but the outshut roof carried over space.
