House, originally chambers for single men, now 3 flats. c1840.
Painted stock brick with slate roof, end chimney gables with
kneelers corbelled out on front elevation, which has stepped
brick cornice.
3 storeys, 3 bays. Door in plain reveal to centre bay with
later wood surround. Cambered brick arches to all openings;
sash windows with delicate glazing bars (except 1st- and
2nd-floor centre bay, which are casements).
