What is recorded here

Semi-detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1890, having three-bay block with bay window and recessed entrance block with projecting entrance bay. Hipped slate roof with brick chimneystacks and render eaves course. Rendered walls with render string course. Round-headed openings having render surrounds, continuous sill course, some with replacement uPVC windows, some with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Camber-headed openings to first floor with render surrounds. Round-headed opening to entrance bay having render surround and spoked fanlight over timber panelled door. Flight of rendered steps to entrance.
This house retains its original form and interesting features such as the render details and sash windows. Projecting planes such as the bay window, recessed entrance block and projecting entrance bay are characteristic features of late Victorian architecture, of which this house is a notable example. Prominently sited, the house forms part of a group of fine villa style houses located on the outskirts of the town.
