house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820. Pitched artificial slate roof, clay ridge tiles, smooth rendered chimneystack, moulded cast-iron gutter on corbelled eaves, circular cast-iron downpipe. Smooth rendered walling. Square-headed window openings, painted reveals, painted stone sills, uPVC windows, cast-iron window guard to ground floor. Segmental-headed door opening, painted timber surround comprising engaged Doric columns supporting plain frieze, cornice and plain glazed fanlight, painted timber door with eight flat panels; square-headed door opening giving access to rear of site to south of west elevation, painted timber vertically sheeted door. House fronts directly onto street.

This modestly-proportioned yet attractive house is of significant importance to maintaining the architectural character of the Chapel Street streetscape. A simple façade is greatly enlivened by the fine Doric door surround and corbel detailing to the eaves and this building represents a good example of small-scale domestic architectural development in the early-nineteenth century.
