S (REAR) ELEVATION: not seen fully, 1994; slightly advanced from the rear of No 14; bay to centre blank at ground and 1st floor; door with plate glass rectangular fanlight at bay to left.

Plate glass timber sash and case windows to principal elevation, except 12-pane timber sash and case to basement; 4-pane timber sash and case windows to rear. Grey slate roof; rendered and coped mutual stacks.

Statement of Interest

The house is called Easterbrook and first appears on Wood's map, prior to the addition of No 14. The slight advancement of the rear elevation from the line of No 14 and also the different pitch of the roof would suggest that the date is different from that of its neighbour.
