Description
Semi-detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1840. The house is finished in render. The panelled timber front door has a fanlight with ‘Y’ tracery over and is set within a semi-circular arched opening; this is dressed with a Gibbsian surround. The window openings are flat-headed with six over six timber sash frames to ground floor and three over six to first floor. The pitched roof is double piled and is finished with natural slate and has cast-iron rainwater goods. The house is road fronted. The remnants of a communal water pump sits on the pavement directly in front of the building.
Appraisal
This is one of a pair of almost matching semi-detached houses both of which are in excellent condition. With the exception of missing chimneystacks they retain all their historic fabric and add an authentic 19th-century air to the streetscape. This house has a pitched double pile roof while the other has a hipped roof.
