House in row. Late C18, altered in mid C19 and later.
Rendered, some brickwork to rear, slate roof. A 2-room plan in
which the central door originally led to the right-hand room
direct, but now with partition; the back has been extended and
modified.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attic, 3 windows. Two C20 dormers with
casements above a wide canted 2-storey bay with 8:12:8-pane
sashes, with a cornice and fine fluted architrave. The first
floor has a blind central light with keystone, and to the
right is a 12-pane sash at each level, also with keystones.
The central 6-panel door has a vertical central bead (which on
the back of the door is in bead and reel), in an Adamesque
doorcase, including urn decorations said to be in pewter. A
small Portland stone plinth, blocking course but no parapet.
To the right is a lofty stack in Broadmayne brick. The rear
roof slope has been lifted, and is at a lower pitch than the
front, and there are C20 additions in brick.
INTERIOR: has a dogleg stair transversely behind the
right-hand room, with solid string, stick balusters, and
moulded handrail. The 2 main rooms have small moulded
cornices, doors are simplified 'carpenter's' 4-panel fielded,
and the fireplaces are mid to late C19. At the top floor,
flanking the staircase, is a plank and muntin partition,
probably of the C18. There are C20 roof-lights over the stair
and one back room. One first-floor fire surround has good
Victorian glazed tile cheeks.
This seems to have been an earlier property than most extant
in the street, but was substantially modified in the C19.
