Description
Terraced four-bay two-storey house, c.1900, originally two separate two-bay two-storey houses probably incorporating fabric of earlier house, pre-1840, on site with square-headed carriageway to right ground floor. Extensively renovated. One of a group of three originally two of a group of four. Pitched roof with replacement artificial slate, clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on timber eaves. Roughcast walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and replacement one-over-one timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with cut-granite step, and replacement glazed tongue-and-groove timber panelled door having overlight. Square-headed carriageway to right ground floor with replacement tongue-and-groove timber panelled triple (accordion) doors. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
An amiable house of modest size originally intended as two houses built as part of an ensemble of four houses (with 15605215 - 216) probably having origins in earlier ranges indicated on archival editions of the Ordnance Survey. Having been sympathetically renovated with replacement fittings alluding to the original predecessors, the house presents an approximation of an early aspect, thus upholding the status as an important contributing factor in the streetscape aesthetic of Michael Street.
