Description
Terraced two-bay three-storey over basement house, c.1800, with single-bay three-storey lean-to shallow return to south. Refenestrated, pre-1999. Now in use as offices. One of a group of three. Pitched (shared) slate roof (continuing into lean-to to return) with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999. Round-headed door opening with moulded rendered surround, and timber panelled door having fanlight. Road fronted with sections of iron railings to front on cut-stone plinth.
Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house built as one of a group of three (with 12000049, 51/KK-4766-09-49, 51) representing an elegant assemblage in William Street on account of the incorporation of Classically-derived proportions with openings diminishing in scale on each floor. Although most of the original composition attributes survive intact, thereby enhancing the integrity of the group together with the positive contribution the group makes to the historic appeal of the streetscape the inappropriate replacement fittings to the window openings have not had a beneficial impact on the external expression of the house.
