Two plate glass sashes each floor to upper floors with thin bands below and above upper windows. Plain stucco surrounds.
Ground floor shop front in later C19 style, but much reconstructed. Fascia over central 3-pane shop window, recessed panelled C19 double half-glazed shop door to left and C19 panelled house door to right, both with overlights. Three C20 paired fluted thin pilasters with console brackets.
