6, 7 And 8 With Attached Wall, Prospect Place And 52 Northumberland Street

This is a terrace of three houses, numbered 6, 7, and 8 Prospect Place, which incorporates the property at 52 Northumberland Street. The building dates from the 19th century, but it was originally an 18th-century granary. The front is constructed of squared stone, with roughly-squared stone at the rear, and cut stone dressings. The roof is covered with Welsh slate, and there are brick stacks. The building is two storeys high, with attics, and has 15 irregular bays.

The western section is built on a basement. Number 52 Northumberland Street has a flush-panelled basement door, while number 8 Prospect Place has a similar door within a chamfered surround, leading to a blocked doorway accessed by an external stone staircase. There's an inserted window and a boarded basement door at the right end of number 8. Numbers 7 and 6 have renewed four-panel and glazed doors respectively. Number 52 Northumberland Street and number 8 Prospect Place feature some 12-pane and 16-pane sash windows, with smaller four-pane sashes and casements in other openings. Most openings are within block surrounds, including low, blocked attic windows just below the eaves. Numbers 7 and 6 have plain sashes in chamfered surrounds. Number 8 has a late 19th-century canted wooden oriel, number 7 has a 19th-century bay, and number 6 has a 20th-century oriel. There are seven late 19th and 20th-century dormers. The building has raised, reverse-stepped gable copings and end and ridge stacks.

The left return of 52 Northumberland Street features a renewed basement door to the right of the shop front, which has panelled pilasters, a moulded frieze, and a cornice on cusped brackets. Above, there’s a 12-pane sash and a blocked window, with four-pane casements to the first floor and plain windows to the attic; all upper windows set within small 18th-century openings.

The rear elevation, facing the churchyard, shows sash and casement windows, with many blocked openings. A short attached wall at the left end holds a moulded lancet window that was removed from the church chancel when the south chapel was added in 1880.

The building is included on the list for its group value alongside the adjacent church.
