house

End-of-terrace two-bay three-storey house, c.1830, with two-bay three-storey side elevation. Extensively renovated and extended, pre-1999, comprising single-bay two-storey return to south-west. One of a group of eight. Hipped roof with replacement artificial slate, pre-1999, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods, pre-1999, on replacement uPVC eaves, pre-1999. Hipped artificial slate roof to return (gabled to window opening to top floor) with clay ridge tiles, and uPVC rainwater goods on uPVC eaves. Unpainted replacement cement rendered walls, pre-1999. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999, with replacement glazed uPVC French doors, pre-1999, to right top floor having cast-iron balconette. Elliptical-headed door opening with three cut-stone steps, timber panelled door, decorative sidelights, and fanlight. Set back from road with forecourt having sections of decorative wrought iron railings on unpainted rendered plinth with wrought iron gate.

A well-proportioned house that forms part of a planned terrace of eight houses (with 22821073 – 9/WD-31-21-73 - 9), and which, together with the house to the far south-east (22821079/WD-31-21-79), is signified as an end piece to the group on account of an additional storey. Extensively renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of most of the original fabric, the elementary form remains intact along with some early fittings, including the furniture to the door opening. Nevertheless, the house, together with the remainder in the terrace, remains an important component of the streetscape, the early-surviving wrought iron railings to the forecourt enhancing the visual appeal of the street scene.
