1685-1/6/33 (East side)

GV II

House, now flats. Late C18 (after 1778), altered C20. Coursed
squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, and at the rear
coursed rubble. Stone slate roof and gable chimneys.
Double-depth plan.
3 storeys over a cellar and 2 bays, with a prominent
first-floor sill band and, continuing the lintels of the top
windows, a plain frieze beneath a hollow-moulded eaves
cornice. The right-hand half of the ground floor incorporates
the remains of a former waggon entrance, with a massive stone
lintel, but beneath this there are now 2 narrow coupled
doorways with plain surrounds; the first contains the door to
the house, while the other opens into a through-passage to the
former back yard. To the left is a 16-pane sashed window. On
the first and second floors are, respectively, 2 taller and 2
shorter 12-pane sash windows, all with raised plain surrounds.
All the sashes are C20 replacements in keeping.
