house

End-of-terrace four-bay single-storey house, c.1840, retaining some original fenestration. Reroofed, c.1965. Renovated and part refenestrated, c.1990, with one window opening remodelled. Now in commercial use. Pitched roof with replacement artificial slate, c.1960, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Unpainted rendered walls with rendered quoins to ends having diamond infill panels, and decorative rendered panel to right. Square-headed window openings (one remodelled, c.1990, to left) with rendered sills, and decorative rendered surrounds having dentilated entablatures on consoles (replacement rendered surround, c.1990, to remodelled opening). 6/6 timber sash windows having wrought iron bars with replacement fixed-pane timber window, c.1990, to remodelled opening. Square-headed door opening with rendered surround, and timber panelled double doors. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.

A pleasant, small-scale house retaining most of its original form, together with some important salient features and materials. Rendered dressings, robust to the window openings, serve to enhance the artistic design quality of the composition. However, a remodelled window opening has not had a positive impact on the historic expression of the house.
