The ground floor fronts have been absorbed into the commercial life of the town, divided into three shop units with 19th and 20th century shopfronts that look perfectly ordinary. It is only when you raise your eyes to the southern gable that the building reveals what it actually is.

Set into that gable is a double-diamond Jacobean chimney stack, a decorative form in which the chimney shafts are arranged in a geometric pattern, characteristic of early 17th century construction in Britain and Ireland. The Jacobean style takes its name from the reign of James I, and this kind of ornamental stonework was a way of signalling a degree of status and ambition on the part of whoever built or commissioned the terrace. The houses were re-roofed around 1990, but the re-roofing did not erase everything. The ghost of the original steep-pitched roofline is still visible in the masonry below the chimney stacks, a faint but legible record of how the building once looked.
