What is recorded here

Detached single-storey three-bay house, built c. 1860. Pitched corrugated-iron roof having decorative wrought-iron ridge cresting, brick chimneystack and aluminium rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with painted panelled render pilasters to ends. Square-headed window openings with six-pane pivoting timber windows, having painted limestone sills. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Set below street level behind rendered boundary walls with metal railings and decorative wrought-iron gate.
This house makes an interesting addition to the town. Small houses such as this are becoming increasingly rare, as they are often overlooked in favour of larger houses. It is likely that the house was once thatched, as grants were given for residents of thatched cottages to replace their thatch with galvanised roofs during the 1960s.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
