What is recorded here

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, built 1780. Pitched artificial slate roof with limestone eaves course, rendered chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with render plinth. Camber-headed window openings with tripartite timber sliding sash windows, six-over-six pane to first floor and one-over-one pane to ground floor. Round-headed cut limestone block-and-start doorcase having triple keystone, moulded cornice, timber panelled door with spoked fanlight and limestone step with bootscrape.
This fine Georgian terrace was built in 1780 as part of the planned town by the Earl of Kingston for his retainers, and incorporates many typical neo-classical features of the period, such as symmetry and fanlights. This house has retained much of its early character and charm, in the limestone doorcase with its fine timber panelled door, and the varied tripartite timber sash windows.
