Description
Grove House, located on Howick Street, is an early 19th-century building that includes No 17 Green Batt. Originally known as Grove Cottage, it was refronted to the south around 1831. The building has two storeys and features a south front with four windows. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has a moulded eaves cornice. The slate roof has coped verges and three brick chimneys. The windows are glazing bar sash windows, and on the ground floor, there are two three-light bays flanking a small portico supported by slender columns, leading to a glazed door with a traceried fan above it. A bracketed street lamp is positioned on the southeast corner. The 1831 conversion included blocking windows at the rear and on No 4. No 4 is a one-window extension with a blocked stable arch on the ground floor and slate-roofed stairs leading to the first floor on the side of No 17 Green Batt. The latter has a gable end facing Green Batt, a hipped gabled extension to the east, and a shop window facing Howick Street.
