house — Henry Street

Corner-sited end-of-terrace two-bay four-storey over basement red brick townhouse, built c. 1840, with a single-bay full-height elevation facing Lower Hartstonge Street and front and side railed basement area around both elevations. Corner hipped natural slate roof hidden behind parapet wall with limestone coping and lead flashing. Red brick walls laid in Flemish bond with cement pointing on a limestone plinth course above rendered basement elevation. Gauged brick flat-arched window openings to front elevation, camber-arched to side elevation upper floors, all with patent reveals, limestone sills and uPVC windows. uPVC windows to Hartstonge Street mimic three Wyatt style windows. Gauged brick round-arch door opening with moulded concave surround. Replacement timber-panelled door flanked by timber pilasters supporting stepped cornice and webbed fanlight above. Opening onto limestone platform and three steps flanked by wrought-iron railings and cast-iron corner rail posts on painted limestone plinth, which continues around both elevations, enclosing a limestone flagged basement area. Modern steel gate to Henry Street leads to concrete steps, which give access to basement with a modern timber door to Lower Hartstonge Street. The interior appears to be intact, with a curved lower flight to the stairs.
