Description
Attached three-bay two-storey house, c.1875, possibly incorporating fabric of earlier house, c.1800. Part refenestrated. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls with rendered channelled piers having vermiculated panels. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows having replacement timber casement windows to ground floor. Square-headed door opening with rendered channelled surround having vermiculated panels, and timber panelled door having overlight. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house distinguished in the streetscape by the robust vermiculated panels contributing to the architectural quality of the composition. The retention of most of the original composition attributes together with much of the early fabric maintains the position of the site as an important factor enhancing the historic flavour of Lady's Well Street.
