house

End-of-terrace five-bay two-storey house, dated 1780, with slightly lower two-storey additions to rear. Hipped and pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with date and name plaque for terrace to north-east corner. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills, having painted brick block-and-start surround to window of east elevation of addition. Round-headed door opening to front with channelled limestone pilasters with plinths, moulded imposts, moulded archivolt, fanlight and carved timber panelled door. Painted round-headed brick block-and-start surround to extension, with timber panelled door and fanlight. Cast-iron gate railings and double-leaf gates with square-plan chamfered cast-iron piers to site.

This fine Georgian terrace was built in 1780 as part of the planned town by the Earl of Kingston for his retainers, and incorporates many typical neo-classical features of the period, such as symmetry and fanlights. This house has retained much of its original character and charm, in the timber sliding sash windows and timber panelled doors.
