What is recorded here

Terraced four-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, with integral carriage arch. House fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered plinth with roughcast render to walls. Timber sash windows with painted sills, windows with stucco surrounds to ground floor. Segmental-headed door opening with moulded surround with keystone. Timber panelled door flanked by engaged Ionic columns supporting spoked fanlight. Segmental-headed carriage arch opening with timber battened double doors.
This modestly designed but well proportioned house, situated on Compton Row, is enhanced by the retention of original features and fabric including the early nineteenth-century six-over-six timber sash windows. The classically styled door surround with the engaged Ionic columns is a noteworthy feature, adding to the house's visual appeal while and making a positive contribution to the streetscape.
