house

Terraced four-bay two-storey house, c.1800. Pitched slate roof with bitumen felt over, clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack, and no rainwater goods surviving on rendered rubble stone eaves. Painted lime rendered walls over mud wall construction. Square-headed window openings with no sills, two-over-two (ground floor) and one-over-one (first floor) timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with two cut-limestone steps, and tongue-and-groove timber panelled door. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.

A modest-scale house contributing significantly to the urban vernacular quality of the streetscape on account of attributes including an increasingly-rare lime rendered wall surface over a traditional mud wall construction, the small-scale openings producing a disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing, and so on. Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving in place both to the exterior and reputedly to the interior, thereby enhancing the visual appeal of the street scene.
