OUTBUILDING: to rear of property, 18th century, doubled in size in earlier to mid 19th century (contemporary with street front house). 2-storey on falling ground with part-basement to N, irregular plan with pend.

Outbuilding of particular interest, good survival of urban vernacular. The land originally belonged to the Bingartree House estate, and the outbuilding served as 3 dwellings, presumably 244 and 246, until condemned in 1959. A piece of wood built into a cupboard of the new house bears the writing "George Gibson 1854", this gentleman being the owner at the time.
