What is recorded here

Detached U-plan five-bay two-storey over basement house, built c. 1800, having two-bay end elevations, single-bay single-storey extension to north end, oriel window with hipped slate roof to south end, and slightly lower two-bay two-storey infill addition to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Painted roughcast rendered walls. Camber-headed window openings to front elevation, square-headed elsewhere, with replacement uPVC windows, and limestone sills. Slightly recessed elliptical-headed entrance doorway with ornate spoked fanlight having petal motif over dentillated timber entablature. Timber panelled double-leaf door flanked by fluted timber Ionic-style engaged columns with limestone plinths, having limestone steps to front.

Set over a basement, this house is notable for its elaborate entrance with and ornate fanlight and double-leaf door. The unusual U-plan form of the house remains apparent. The scale, rhythm and elliptical-headed door opening are typical features of Georgian architecture.
