part-glazed 6-panel door with vertical mouldings to the bottom
panels. Garden front is a symmetrical 2-window range between
end pilasters. Central doorway to the basement contains
another 6-panel door, similar to the main door. Flanking

This is one of a good group of houses dating from the second
quarter of the C19 alongside New Street (now Victoria Road)
which was built in 1825 to enable, for the first time,
horse-drawn carriages in and out of the town.
