26, North Bailey

No. 26 North Bailey is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with a plinth, featuring some painted ashlar and brick dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and has three bays. The entrance is a six-panel door located to the right, set within an architrave. The windows on the ground floor have projecting stone sills and are late 19th-century sashes, while the second floor features smaller paired windows. There are panelled external shutters on the ground floor, and the top windows have header-course lintels with brick dressings. A window in the centre of the first floor has been blocked, and there is a boot-scraper recess beside the door.

Inside, the house is said to have a staircase from the first half of the 18th century leading to the first floor, with a late 17th-century staircase above. The staircase is dog-legged, with the upper flights featuring a moulded flat handrail supported by turned balusters, and a moulded and dentilled ogee-section string.
