What is recorded here

Attached five-bay two-storey house, built c. 1760, with three-bay breakfront. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with render quoins to breakfront and render string course dividing floors. Square-headed window openings to front (north) elevation with moulded sills and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening to with moulded shouldered surround with triple keystone detail and timber panelled door with overlight. Limestone step and threshold to entrance.
Interesting use of features such as breakfront delineated by quoins and shouldered surround, more commonly associated with classically inspired country houses than urban buildings. Though missing some historic fabric, it retains much of its original eighteenth century form and character and is a notable feature on streetscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
