Brick modillion eaves cornice. The windows are hornless 12-pane sashes under flat heads. Ground floor has sash to L, and round-arched doorway L of centre, with raised flat porch canopy on consoles. Doorway contains a late C20 small-pane glazed door, and a decorative fan-light, probably original, reached by 5 steps.

To far R, segmental-headed doorway to through-passage, with half-glazed panelled door with overlight.

Reason for designation

Listed for its architectural interest as a well-detailed Georgian town-house retaining its character, the later shop-front little-altered. Group value with surrounding listed buildings in Clwyd Street.
