The outer gabled sections have 2 chimneys, between which are

above ground-floor entrance.
The central gabled section is blind and has only 1 chimney.
Some sash windows with glazing bars and segmental,
gauged-brick arches. Smaller broad segmental-headed casement
windows in recessed sections, those on 2nd floor tucked
beneath wide eaves.
Elevation to street has openings to staircases and ground
floor flats; individual front doors to upper floor flats
approached along short access balconies with simple ironwork.
Windows mostly sashes (some paired) with glazing bars and
segmental, gauged-brick arches.
