house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house over exposed basement, built c.1830. Pitched artificial slate roof with black clay ridge tiles behind rebuilt parapet wall with granite coping and original cast-iron hopper and downpipe breaking through to east. Rebuilt chimneystacks to both party walls with terracotta pots. Yellow brick walls laid in Flemish bond on painted chamfered granite plinth course over rendered basement walls, rebuilt at parapet level with modern grey bricks. Gauged brick flat-arched window openings, patent rendered reveals, painted granite sills and replacement uPVC windows. Gauged brick three-centred-arch door opening with replacement timber door and replacement surround. Door opens onto granite platform and two granite steps, bridging basement. Platform and basement enclosed by original wrought-iron railings and cast-iron corner posts on granite plinth wall. Cast-iron coal hole cover set in granite slab to pavement.

Located within a terrace of thirteen early nineteenth-century houses, this pleasant house of modest Georgian proportions forms an integral component of the north side of Summerhill Parade. The house retains its general character, the granite steps, and the plinth and railings to the basement. The building maintains the impression of the original appearance of the terrace which constitutes the northeast limit of the north Georgian city.
