12-pane timber sash and case windows. Grey slate roof with droved ashlar and coped stacks (wallhead to E and mutual to W).

From the maps cited in the References, the house appears to have been added (some time after 1856) to a grouped pair of single storey houses which were built by 1824 and which are part of a feued piece of land known as Mount Pleasant. Stylistically the house looks earlier than circa 1860. The present owner believes that it was built for Provost Livingston (who died in 1867). The last owner was apparently
Mr Walford who designed St John's RC church, Brighton Place.
