Excerpt of current Listing Description:
"House, now dentists' surgery. Originally part of No 3 [NHER 55894], but separation was early. Rebuilt in the early 18th century. Red brick with slate roof. Two-storey façade in two narrow bays. Elevation closed to either side by giant pilasters rising to block entablatures below panelled parapet. Two sashes each floor with glazing bars and gauged skewback arches, the lower ones entirely replaced late 18th century, the upper also but retaining the original flush frames. Below these two are brick aprons. Gabled roof with a stack on the rear slope.
Interior of little interest. A fine early 18th century brick facade with Baroque mannerisms."
