What is recorded here

Terraced five-bay two-storey house, built 1780, with additional dormer storey. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, terracotta chimneypots, gabled dormers with timber bargeboards, and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with metal tie-plates. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows, and painted limestone sills. Round-headed door opening with painted channelled limestone pilasters with plinths, dropped keystone, moulded cornice, timber panelled door and spoked fanlight, with limestone step. Cast-iron railings to front of house.
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, despite recent refenestration, in the timber panelled door and limestone doorcase.
