What is recorded here

Terraced four-bay two-storey house over raised basement, built c.1840, with integral carriage arch to north end of façade at basement level. Pitched roof, covering not visible. Rendered chimneystack and parapet with coping, moulded string course, ball finial and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills and timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows. Elliptical-headed entrance opening with timber panelled door flanked by fluted rendered engaged columns, with moulded cornice and having spoked fanlight, accessed by concrete steps with rendered parapet walls. Roughcast rendered boundary wall to front garden with capped piers and wrought-iron pedestrian gate. Rock-faced capped piers to vehicular entrance with wrought-iron double-leaf gates and with flat arch to carriageway and with rubble stone boundary wall to neighbouring garden.
This house, the largest in a terrace of three, shares a moulded cornice with its neighbours. The urn to the parapet adds further visual and decorative interest. Its doorway is of different design to its neighbour to the north and provides the principal decorative focus, replete with a spoked fanlight. The railings between the houses, and the decorative gate and rendered boundary wall provide an appropriate setting.
