Description
Attached three-bay three-storey over half-basement house, built c. 1820, as one of pair, and having canted windows to ground floor of façade. Now in use as shops. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows and painted cut-stone sills. Fixed timber windows to ground floor with recent round-roofed canopies. Segmental-headed entrance with chamfered render roll moulded surround, render architrave with incised circular motifs, timber panelled door with flanking Ionic-style fluted columns with plinths, and spoked fanlight. Approached by flight of splaying cut limestone steps with cast-iron railings. Cast-iron boundary railings to basement area.
Appraisal
This building forms part of a pair of similarly-sized and formed structures, which are prominent on the streetscape, due to their tall form and regular symmetrical facades. The elaborate doorcase and fanlight provide a decorative focus to the façade. The site is enhanced by the cast-iron railings and limestone steps.
