cylindrical pots per chimney.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. 3-window front with centre doorway;
cart-entrance to left. Doorway has rusticated surround with

2 tall, upright moulded panels and old knocker; 3-paned
fanlight. Cart entrance has segmental arch with keystone;
double plank doors, the right-hand door the width of an
ordinary house door. Windows have slightly curved arches with
keystones; 6-paned sashes. Moulded board below the eaves.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
HISTORY: this was a Heathcoat-built house. The surprisingly
late date comes from A north Benn and B Keene, `Heathcoats'
Housing', in `The Lowman Chronicle'. They give no source, but
similar housing in the Georgian tradition seems to have been
built by the Heathcoats at Nos 2-10 (even) Church Street (qv)
as late as 1875-6. The original door and wooden glazing-bars
are an important part of the design of this house.
