What is recorded here

Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, c.1900, possibly incorporating fabric of earlier house, pre-1840, on site. One of a pair. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, replacement rendered (shared) and red brick Running bond chimney stacks, rendered coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having iron ties. Roughcast walls on rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening in elliptical-headed recess with tiled step, slightly splayed reveals, and glazed timber panelled door. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
A picturesque small-scale house built as one of a pair (with 15605189) possibly having origins in earlier predecessors identified on archival editions of the Ordnance Survey. Having been well maintained, the house presents an early aspect with the simple architectural attributes surviving in place, including a pared-down 'Morrison doorcase' characteristic of the locality, together with most of the historic or original fabric, thereby upholding the positive impression made on the character of Mary Street Upper.
