What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey over basement house, built c. 1830, with central projecting flat-roofed Doric timber portico, three-bay side elevations, and canted bay window to north elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and overhanging eaves. Painted roughcast rendered walls to front, with slate-hanging to south elevation. Square-headed openings having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and stone sills. Segmental-arched entrance opening with timber panelled door, decorative paned overlight and paned sidelights. Rendered boundary walls with chamfered cut stone piers and caps having replacement timber double-leaf gate.
This fine late Georgian house is set back from Upper Gladstone Street and is a noticeable and imposing addition on this approach into the town. It regular fenestration, overhanging eaves and deep symmetrical chimneystacks enhance the form of the structure, and features such as the timber portico and bay window enliven the façade.
