History

An early C19 house shown on the 1829 town plan.

Exterior

A late Georgian-style 2-storey house with attic and basement, with pebble-dashed walls, slate roof with skylights and end pebble-dashed stacks. The 2-window front has a central entrance reached from 2 opposing flights of steps with iron rail. The door has round-headed fielded panels, under a margin-glazed overlight, in a doorcase with moulded cornice. Windows are 16-pane hornless sashes in the lower storey. The upper storey has 20-pane hornless sashes in canted oriel windows. The basement has 2-light windows.

Rubble-stone garden walls are attached on both sides. In the L gable end are 2 replacement attic windows. In the R gable end is a replacement half-glazed door to the R. Above it is a 12-pane horned sash stair window, and in the attic two 4-pane horned sashes, of which the R-hand lights the attic stair. The rear has an added lean-to half-glazed porch, and replacement windows on the R side.

Interior

The central entrance hall leads to a sitting room on the L, which has a panelled, polished slate fireplace surround incorporating foliage consoles. Original round-headed niches are to the R and L of the fireplace. The stair is on the R side, at the rear of the hall. A straight closed-string stair leads to the first floor. Above it is a straight stair to the attic, which has panelled tread ends and plain balusters, and similar but new banister in the attic. Stone steps lead to the cellar.
