What is recorded here

End-of-terrace four-bay three-storey house over half-basement, built c.1770. Pitched artificial slate roof with render eaves course and brick chimneystack. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows having stone sills. Timber panelled door with decorative leaded spoked overlight. Dressed limestone plinth blocks and step.
Interestingly, the windows diminish in line with classical or formal precedent, but are unevenly dispersed across the façade of the building. The quoins serve to enhance and emphasise the structure of the building. Although some of the original fabric has been replaced, the building nonetheless retains its overall form and structure with the tall chimneystack serving to punctuate the building's edge.
