house

Detached four-bay two-storey vernacular house, built c. 1840, with single-storey extension to rear having pitched slate roof and rendered chimneystack. Hipped slate roof with clay ridge tiles, overhanging eaves, rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows and painted stone sills, irregularly-placed to rear elevation. Tripartite window opening to ground floor front and south elevations, with timber sliding sash four-over-one pane windows flanked by more slender versions of same, and double timber casement to first floor of latter. Square-headed door opening with replacement double-leaf timber panelled door, overlight and sidelights. Wrought-iron pedestrian gate to entrance.

This pleasing middle-sized house reveals interesting vernacular features including an asymmetrically-placed entrance to the front and irregularly-spaced openings to the rear. Fine features such as the tripartite windows and delicately overhanging eaves may point to subsequent refinement and embellishment to present more elegant street elevations. The building survives intact in its early nineteenth-century form and is a pleasant feature in the streetscape.
