History

Early C18 town house with minor late C19 alterations and possibly with earlier origins.

Exterior

Large Queen Anne or early Georgian town house of 3-storeys. Pebbledashed elevations (probably over brick) with medium-pitched slate roof and large rendered end chimneys. Symmetrical 3-bay facade with central entrance; 6-panel door, the upper panels glazed, with moulded and bracketed semi-circular wooden hood canopy. Sixteen-pane sash windows (unhorned) to the ground and first floors, those to the outer bays marginally larger. The upper floor has similar 16-pane windows breaking the eaves and contained within gabled dormers with simple decorative bargeboards. Unsympathetic modern glazing to the windows of the rear elevation.

Adjoining at right-angles to the rear is a contemporary 2-storey former service wing (formerly listed separately as no.62 B). Of C18 brick (painted) with slate roof and end chimney to L. Asymmetrical facade with 4 ground floor windows and 3 to the first floor. Modern plain-glazed casements, formerly listed as including a large sliding sash to the upper floor and 3 small-pane sashes to the ground floor. Off-centre boarded door with simple flat-roofed brick porch.
