Description
Terraced four-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, one of a terrace of three with two-storey return to rear (south). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls with continuous stone sill course to ground and first floors and stone cornice at eaves level. Square-headed (ground floor) and camber-headed (first floor) window openings with moulded render architraves and replacement two-over-two pane double-glazed sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening with moulded render architrave, fanlight, panelled timber door and limestone threshold. Gravelled area to the front of the house with path and topiary. Smooth rendered boundary walls with limestone coping, surmounted by cast-iron railings with pedestrian gate and limestone steps to the road.
Appraisal
A handsome terraced house retaining much original fabric and displaying simple classical proportions which contribute to its elegance. The moulded render window surrounds are skilfully executed, while the boundary wall contributes to its setting and the streetscape. The boundary treatment is particularly attractive with the Regency-style oval motifs.
