house

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, c.1800, originally two separate single-bay two-storey (south) and two-bay two-storey (north) houses. Refenestrated, c.1925. Now in use as offices. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having iron ties retaining cast-iron ogee hopper and downpipe. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and replacement two-over-two timber sash windows, c.1925. Square-headed door opening with cut-limestone threshold, and timber panelled door. Street fronted with cobbled or concrete footpath to front.

A pleasant house of modest size originally intended as two separate houses as identified by attributes including the loose arrangement of the openings producing an informal quality in the composition, the non-uniform proportions of those openings, and so on. Having been well maintained, the house presents an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving in place, thereby contributing positively to the character of High Street.
