Number 46 And Attached Rear Walls And Outbuilding

This is a house, later adapted for use as an office, flats, and then houses and a flat, with attached rear outbuildings and walls. The front was rebuilt around 1860, while the rear range probably dates to the late 18th century, marked by a date stone of 1799. The construction uses irregular courses of squared stone, with an ashlar plinth, pecked quoins, and stone dressings. The roof is covered in stone slates with stone gable copings and stone and brick chimneys. The building is in an L-shape, with an outbuilding set against the rear wall of a small rear yard.

The front of the building has two storeys and a three-window arrangement. It features a central six-panel door with a margined overlight, set beneath a flat stone lintel with alternate block jambs. Plain sash windows include similar lintels and jambs, along with projecting stone sills. The roof has gable copings on cyma-moulded kneelers, and end chimneys built on stone plinths using yellow brick.

The rear of the building shows a two-storey outshut under a catslide roof. A two-storey link is situated at the rear with a monopitch roof, connecting to an elevated side section set against a lower two-storey, four-window rear wing. A ledged and boarded door is situated at the left, above a tall two-pane overlight. A blocked door, with a flat stone lintel, has an inserted window to the right. To the right of this is a half-glazed door, in a simple stone surround. A blocked door is next, also with a flat stone lintel, followed by a sash window with glazing bars and a projecting stone sill. Further along, a blocked door displays a lintel inscribed “1799” with partially obscured initials “?HND”. A small opening is above the left-end door on the first floor, alongside 20th-century two-light casements over the other doors.

Against the yard wall and facing the house is a single-storey outbuilding, originally likely an earth closet and coal store, constructed from rubble stone with a roof of stone slates. It has pierced ventilation holes in a boarded door, a small window with four panes, and a boarded door in the right return. A pent roof covers this section. A high wall with a flat stone coping forms the yard, and has a flat stone lintel over a boarded door alongside the rear wing.

Internally, the front range features a 19th-century tiled central entrance hall with a half-glazed screen to the inner door. There are six-panel doors, panelled reveals around the windows, and a marble chimney piece. A keyed round arch leads to the rear staircase.
