house

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey house, c.1875. Reroofed, c.1975. Refenestrated with one window opening remodelled. One of a pair. Pitched roof with replacement artificial slate, c.1975, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and replacement aluminium rainwater goods, c.1975, on rendered eaves. Unpainted rendered, ruled and lined walls with rendered channelled piers to ends. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, and replacement timber casement windows. Round-headed door opening in round-headed concave recess with tooled cut-limestone step, and replacement glazed timber panelled door having fanlight. Square-headed door opening inserted to right ground floor (originally window opening) with cut-limestone step, and timber panelled door having overlight. Road fronted with sections of wrought iron railings to front having cast-iron foliate finials, and tooled limestone ashlar panelled terminating piers having cut-limestone capping.

A well-composed middle-size house built as one of a pair (with 12314024/KK-26-14-24) forming a feature of elegant quality in the streetscape. Although most of the original form and massing have been retained together with supplementary embellishments including attractive iron ware the external expression of the composition has not benefited from the insertion of inappropriate modern fittings to the openings.
