Terraced five-bay two-storey over basement house, built 1780, with attic accommodation. Pitched artificial slate roof with brick chimneystacks, terracotta chimneypots and rendered parapet. Roughcast rendered walls, with painted rendered walls to basement, and having rustiacated render quoins to north, and render eaves band. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows, having painted chamfered render surrounds and painted limestone sills. Round-headed door opening with painted chanelled limestone pilasters, moulded cornice and archivolt, latter with keystone, timber panelled door and traceried fanlight, and with limestone steps over area with rendered parapets. Painted rendered boundary walls.
This fine Georgian terrace was built in 1780 as part of the planned town by the Earl of Kingston for his retainers, and incorporates many typical neo-classical features of the period, such as symmetry and fanlights. This house has retained much of its original character and charm, despite recent refenestration, in the fine door surround, timber panelled door and traceried fanlight.
