What is recorded here

End-of-terrace L-plan four-bay three-storey house, built c. 1810, formerly part of twelve-bay three-storey military college. Later in use as school, subsequently subdivided and in use as private houses. Single-bay three-storey lean-to return to rear. Hipped and pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, render eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with dressed limestone quoins to upper floors of south-east corner, and render plinth course. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows, painted stone sills and render surrounds, those to front elevation incorporating pediment-style details. Segmental-headed door opening to front elevation with timber panelled door, overlight and moulded render surround. Square-headed opening to rear with timber panelled door, overlight and render surround, approached by flight of concrete steps.
This building formed part of a larger composition until its subdivision in the early twentieth century. Formerly a purpose-built military college, the tall and narrow form of the building, dense fenestration and siting combine to create a building of distinct and unusual character.
