End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey house with attic, built c.1820, with lower single-bay two-storey return to rear. Built as one of terrace of five similar houses. Pitched slate roof with smooth-rendered chimneystack, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Coursed squared limestone walls with smooth-rendered margin quoins, and with roughcast rendered gable. Camber-arch window openings with squared limestone voussoirs, replacement uPVC windows, and stone sills. Oculus window to first floor over doorway. Round-arch door opening with squared limestone voussoirs, timber panelled door and fanlight. Set back from street with garden to front bounded by cast-iron railings on saddle-back plinth, fronted by flagstone pavement.
Appraisal
This house is part of a short terrace adjoining the grounds of Saint Louis Convent. The group is a fine example of the type of nineteenth-century terraced housing built beyond the immediate centre of Victorian towns. The varied tones of the stonework, and the well wrought quoins and voussoirs, add to its attractiveness. The setting, with a garden and flagged footpath to the front, enhances the house and the terrace.
