house

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystacks and render eaves course. Roughcast rendered walls having render plinth course. Square-headed openings with tripartite six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows having flanking two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Square-headed opening to first floor with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash window and limestone sill. Round-headed opening having spoked fanlight over double-leaf timber panelled doors. Rubble limestone boundary walls with render copings and pair of square-profile rubble limestone piers and single-leaf spear-headed cast-iron gate.

This well proportioned house, built as part of a terrace, retains notable features characteristic of mid nineteenth-century domestic architecture. The house presents an early aspect with much of the original features intact including the tripartite sash windows, spoked fanlight and double-leaf doors. The house is of particular importance in the locality, having been built by John Hamilton, Esq. A pleasing gateway of simple design distinction enhances the visual appeal of the street scene.
