Galtee House

Semi-detached terraced house, built c. 1835, having four-bay three-storey front elevation and three-bay four-storey rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls to front and mainly exposed random rubble sandstone to rear. Square-headed window openings to front elevation with dressed stone sills, having timber sliding sash three-over-six pane windows to second floor and replacement uPVC to lower floors. Timber sliding sash windows to rear, three-over-six pane to top floor and six-over-six pane to lower floors, middle bay having round-headed windows. Round-headed entrance opening to front with moulded limestone surround and chamfered cut limestone doorcase with panelled jambs and having timber panelled door with spoked fanlight and accessed by limestone steps. Chamfered cut limestone plinth wall to front with cast-iron railings, having lion's paw detail to bottom, decorative cast-iron gate piers and gate. Stone flagged pavement to area in front of house.

A substantial and well-proportioned early nineteenth-century house, which retains its distinctive scale and form. Diminishing windows accentuate the pleasing regular appearance of this façade. The very fine cast-iron railings and gate, together with the well-carved doorcase, are significant features. The house makes a positive contribution to the architectural character of the streetscape.
