Low two-storey, two-bay front 4-pane horned sash to left and door in doorcase matching that on No 6 to right. Stucco surround with panelled tapering piers, panelled lintel, cornice on consoles and coved hipped top over cornice. Four-panelled C19 door with overlight, panelled reveals. First floor has a canted big oriel window to left, and cambered-headed 4-pane sash to right. Oriel has moulded stepped base, panelled apron, cambered-headed plate-glass sashes, narrow to canted sides, with pilaster angle detail, moulded heads and moulded top cornice with small modillions.
Interior
Interior not inspected. Said to have evidence of older building, wall under flooring of ground floor at angle to present front.
