What is recorded here
Brogan House in Dungory West sticks up above its neighbours and has a separate carriage arch into the yard. Every terrace has one that gets notions. This one required a second entrance for the horse’s notions.
End-of-terrace three-bay three-storey house, built c.1800, having shopfront to whole of ground floor, and carriage arch attached to south-west gable. Now also in use as shop. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, painted eaves course, and recent rooflights. Pebbledashed render to upper walls and gable, and smooth render to ground floor, with render quoins. Square-headed window openings with raised render reveals, painted sills and replacement timber windows. Shopfront comprising render fascia and cornice, square-headed timber-framed windows, one wider replacement window with concrete sill, other having painted stone sill and render riser and incorporating with square-headed double-leaf timber battened door with overlight, and having painted step. Square-headed doorway to house, having painted tooled limestone surround, half-glazed timber battened door with overlight and painted step. Segmental carriage arch set in pebbledashed wall and having double-leaf wrought-iron gate.
This imposing building, while similar to its neighbours, breaks with the surrounding roofline and thus creates a more striking impression on the streetscape. The adjoining carriage-arch, providing access to a yard to the rear, is indicative of its relative importance. The shopfront adds context and the tooled limestone doorway is notable, as is the combined door and window arrangement to the shop.
