1863. 4-storey and attic 3-bay tenement with shops to ground floor, stepped to slope of street. Cream coursed ashlar (painted to ground.). Decorative consoled cornice to ground floor. Stop-chamfered margins to doors and windows. 2-leaf storm door to shop at right, glazed inner door with plate glass fanlight; flanked by windows (modern glazing). 2-leaf timber panelled door with plate glass fanlight to shop at left, flanked by windows (modern glazing). Crowstepped wallhead gable to centre bay with corniced wallhead stack; crowstepped gabletted dormerheads breaking eaves to right and left. Modern lead dormers in mansard roof.
4-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. Grey slates. Stone skews. Corniced wallhead and end stacks with circular cans.
Rather plain tenement; only the crowstepped gables hint at the 'Old Flemish' detail specified in the 1827 Improvement Act.
