50, South Street

No. 50 South Street is a house dated 1859, built in the Tudor style. It features English garden wall bond brick with a snecked sandstone plinth, ashlar quoins, and dressings. The roof is made of graduated Lakeland slate with yellow terracotta crestings. The house is two storeys high with attics and consists of two bays.

On the left, there is a ledged boarded partly-glazed door set in a chamfered Tudor-arched surround. To the right, a 4-centred arch contains a 9-panelled door with Gothic tracery and two cusped lights above, all within a moulded surround that has a tongue-stopped chamfer and hexagonal stops to the label mould. The doors and paired sashes to the right feature carved spandrels, irregular alternate-block jambs, sloping sills, and carved Tudor heads.

Above the entrance, an oriel window, dated 1859 on a stone bracket, has a pierced quatrefoil balustrade. The sill string curves down to square stops flanking the window heads. Narrow paired sashes above the door have chamfered alternate-block surrounds and prominent bracketed sills. A continuous eaves string with animal-head stops runs along the top.

The brick parapet has sloped stone coping that terminates in gablets topped with fleur-de-lis finials. The steeply-pitched roofs of the gabled dormers feature patterned bargeboards, with the right dormer flanked by shafts that support a vine-carved cornice. The roof is adorned with fleur-de-lis crestings and has a single left front ridge chimney with a castellated yellow octagonal pot, while the right chimney has quoins and sloped copings.
