Gardenhurst

Terraced five-bay two-storey house, built 1780. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls having painted render quoins and plinth. Square-headed window openings having replacement uPVC windows to first floor and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to ground floor, all having painted moulded render surrounds and painted sills. Round-headed door opening with moulded render surround, with inset render doorcase comprising engaged fluted Ionic-style columns with plinths and floral friezes and moulded cornice, surmounted by ornate petal fanlight, and having decoratively-carved timber panelled door.

This fine Georgian terrace was built in 1780 as part of the planned town by the Earl of Kingston for his retainers, and incorporates many typical neo-classical features of the period, such as symmetry and fanlights. This house has retained much of its early character and charm, in the timber panelled door, some timber sliding sash windows, and in particular its fine render doorcase and carved timber door.
