Small plinth, dying to pavement, left; raised alternating quoins, and raised plain lintel bands at each floor. Right verge raised and cement rendered, to prominent moulded kneeler at front; at left end No 105 has been raised on the original party wall, and a kneeler of the same kind is built in to its gable wall. Right gable return rendered, with small 4-pane sash to attic and to first floor. Back has flush quoins, and two very large C20 dormer windows. Central ridge stack in brick.
