The outer flank wall is clad with horizontal boarding, and has a large square C17 eaves stack. INTERIOR partly inspected. Entrance hall leads to back lobby with some panelling, 2 arched openings, and geometrical staircase with open string, stick balusters and wreathed handrail, through 2 storeys.

Basement under the whole property includes heavy beams and joists, and thick brick division walls with arched openings. Rear wing not inspected, may have items of interest. A fine town house facade and one of the finer formal buildings in Church Street, the building inside has been sub-divided so that the quality of the interiors is not easy to appreciate.
