house

End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey rendered house, built c. 1880. One of a pair with adjoining property having two-bay elevation. Square-headed dormer attic and single-storey extension, possibly incorporating original return, added to rear c. 1995. Pitched artificial slate roof, unpainted smooth-rendered chimneystack, uPVC rainwater goods. Unpainted smooth- rendered ruled-and-lined walls. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted timber casements c. 1995. Round-headed door opening, set of three cut limestone steps to entrance, plain-glazed fanlight, hardwood vertically-sheeted door c. 1995. Street fronted with boundary walls and railings to grounds of Catholic Cathedral to east. Enclosed yard bounded by rubble masonry wall to rear and backing onto grounds of Cathedral.

This house forms an integral part of a group of three that closes the vista up John Street's south side. With the Roman Catholic Cathedral rising behind, the group represents typical late-nineteenth century building style and the simple facades, combined with balanced proportions, relate well to other buildings on the street.
