house

Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c. 1890, having box-bay windows to end-bays, flanking recessed entrance, recent conservatory to north-west gable, and two-bay single-storey extension to rear. Hipped slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods and rendered chimneystacks. Roof at front is catslide over overhanging eaves, supported on projecting bays and on chamfered square-profile timber columns to front corners, and having carved timber battens to each end. Flat roof to extension. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth render plinth course and smooth rendered entrance bay. Square-headed window openings with render sills. Box-bay windows have tripartite one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to front and fixed two-over-one pane windows to sides, with rendered sills. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash window to rear elevation and replacement uPVC elsewhere. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door having moulded render step to entrance. Rendered square-profile piers having rusticated stone-effect blocks and plinths, moulded caps and remains of ball finials, set to rendered wall with render coping and shorter intermediate smooth rendered piers with ball finials.

This modest house is enlivened by the bay windows which serve to break up the façade into different planes, whilst, together with the timber osts, support the slate roof with overhanging eaves. This unusual arrangement sets this house apart from similar structures. The house retains its tripartite bay windows complete with timber sliding sashes, which enhance the structure.
