Pair of houses, now part of school (No.5) and flats (No.7).
Late C18 (1778-1807), altered early C19 and C20. Sandstone
ashlar with chamfered quoins, slate roof, and gable stacks,
much reduced on the left.
3 tall storeys above a tall basement, expressed with chamfered
rustication, with 3 bays to each house under an eaves cornice.
The downpipe from the secret gutter is in a recess between the
houses. All windows have plain reveals and are sashed with
glazing bars, 15 panes on the ground and first storeys, and 9
on the second, where the joinery is relatively recent. There
is a torus-moulded sill band on the second floor; remains of
sill bands between the quoins on both other floors show that
the first- and second-floor window sills have been lowered.
The doorways, up a double flight of 9 nosed steps parallel to
the facade, are linked in a central feature with 4 fluted
pilasters carrying a single broken scrolled pediment. The
doors are of 9 raised and fielded panels to the left and 6
panels to the right.
INTERIOR: No.7 has shutters to the first and ground floor
windows.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the railings have stick balusters with
urn finials on the standards; centrally against the landing is
an elaborate iron lamp holder carried on a panel decorated
with a double line of lozenges.
