Central doorway with panelled reveals, rectangular overlight with intersecting diamond pattern glazing bars and transom with zigzag decoration. Large Doric porch with octagonal columns with reeding, pilasters with paterae and entablature with dentilled cornice and triglyph frieze flanking walls left and right with pointed arch doorways, left-hand with original door with gothic cover moulds, left-hand later boarded door. Rear elevation has large round-headed stair window at centre with original 18-pane sash, flanked by tripartite first floor sashes, 16-pane sash to ground floor left and 20th century door to right.
Interior: plan and features intact including open well stair in well at rear of hall, with open string stick balusters, turned newels and moulded handrail. The early joinery, such as panelled doors, doorframes and internal window shutters, is largely complete, except for chimneypieces in front rooms which have been taken out. Simple moulded ceiling cornice in main front rooms and hall. Including front garden area railings with spearheads to shafts and baluster stanchions with own finials. The central gate is wrought iron. Left-hand gate is original gate for tradesmen. This is a largely unaltered early 19th century house with its interior features virtually complete.
As an unconverted house in the town centre it makes a valuable contribution to the townscape.
