3 storeys above a cellar, and 4 bays with chamfered quoins on

openings have moulded architraves, and the windows have
glazing bar sashes restored in the late C20, with 18 panes on
the first floor and 12 panes on the second. Shop front altered

a small blocked window on the right with a double chamfered
surround. On the upper floors most windows, including the tall
staircase window on the right, have architraves matching those
