What is recorded here

Read the whole record

End-of-terrace four-bay two-storey house, built c.1810, having integral carriage arch. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows, render surrounds and stone sills. Timber panelled door with over-light, channelled render block-and-start surround and concrete steps. Segmental-arch carriage opening with channelled render block-and-start surround and timber battened double-leaf door.

The size and scale of this house are in keeping with the surrounding buildings but the building, differing in style from them, makes an interesting and positive contribution to the streetscape. Its façade is enlivened by render features, such as surrounds to the openings and quoins, while the symmetrical form is enhanced by the retention of notable features such as the carriage arch.
