Double-fronted, a two-window range of paired two-pane sashes with architraves to first floor. Ground floor has a hipped slate roofed hood extending over canted bays with 2-and 4-pane horned sashes either side of a wide doorway with part-glazed 6-panelled door with painted raised quoins. Extending from either side are wrought-iron railings and gate with urn and spoon finials on a stone kerb, similar to those at number 27.
