house

Terraced 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 facade with smooth render to plinth. Replacement uPVC windows with red brick surrounds and tooled stone sills. Square-headed door opening with red brick surrounds, pitched slate canopy with timber bargeboards and finial, supported on timber brackets surmounting replacement glazed timber door and tooled limestone threshold.

This terraced cottage, fronting directly onto Compton Row, retains original features and fabric which contribute to its architectural merit and character. Examples of such features are evident in the decorative canopy which surmounts the door opening and the red brick detailing which enlivens the façade. Built as part of a larger scheme this cottage is integral to the terrace and makes a positive contribution to a changing streetscape. Although one of the houses has a date plaque stating 'Comptons Row. 1820', these houses have the appearance of houses dating from the 1880s and may have been renovated at that time.
