Terraced town house. c.1750-60. Darkened brick, slate roof, 4 storeys, basement and dormered mansard. 3 windows wide.

Wrought iron area railings with flambé torch finials. Interior considerably altered and original staircase removed but retains entrance hall with ceiling composed of shallow flattened domes of Soanic type (Soane is recorded as having worked at No. 19 but no features appear to survive there and this hall is much closer to his style, so there may have been a renumbering); rear room on ground floor has bowed end and palmette and anthemion frieze etc.
