house

End-of-terrace three-bay single-storey house, built c.1820. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, red brick chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast render to walls with smooth render to plinth. Tooled limestone plaque to corner of façade inscribed: ' Comptons Row. 1820'. Replacement timber casement windows with red brick surrounds and painted sills. Square-headed door opening with red brick surrounds, projecting canopy with timber bargeboards and finial, supported on timber brackets with replacement glazed timber door and tooled limestone threshold.

Though small in scale and simple in design, this cottage forms part of a group of identical structures. The symmetrical composition of this house is enhanced by detailing such as the red brick window and door surrounds, which enliven the building's façade. The carved timber canopy is a noteworthy feature, adding to its character. A notable addition to the front elevation is the tooled limestone plaque, which may have been inserted here from the original house on the site. Its crisp inscription to the plaque reveals the date for the establishment of the street. These houses have the appearance of houses dating from the 1880s and may have been renovated at that time and later.
