Read the whole record

Detached three-bay two-storey house built c.1870, having full-height projecting gabled south end bay to front and similar matching to rear, and with two-bay lower two-storey addition to north gable. Pitched slate roofs having moulded red brick eaves course, red brick chimneystacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered rubble limestone walls, render removed to front elevation. Square-headed openings with red brick block-and-start surrounds, cut-stone sills, replacement timber windows to front and replacement uPVC to rear. Square-headed door opening with red brick block-and-start surround and replacement timber panelled door and overlight.

This building is unusually sited, being partially hidden. The roofline, with its large chimneystacks, adds interest to the streetscape. The contrasting textures of brick and smooth render enhance the rear elevation.
