house

Terraced two-bay three-storey over basement house, built c. 1830. Pitched slate roof with eaves course, red brick chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted roughcast rendered walls with cut sandstone quoins to north end. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows, windows missing to second floor and remains of three-over-six pane windows to rear. Timber panelled shutters to interior of windows. Segmental-headed entrance opening, with recessed timber panelled door, cobweb fanlight and sidelights with decorative glazing, accessed by limestone steps. Rendered plinth with cut limestone coping and wrought-iron spearhead railings to basement area.

This house is one of an elegant terrace of similar houses. A railed area to the basement provides privacy from the street, and access by a flight of steps creates an air of grandeur. High quality craftsmanship is apparent in the fanlight and sidelights. This terrace forms a significant part of the town's domestic architectural heritage and the quadrant arrangement remains of this formerly gated street.
