Description
Number 38 is a terraced house located on Loftus High Street, built in the late 18th century and altered in the early to mid-19th century. The house is constructed from chevron-tooled dressed sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings and block kneelers. The chimney stacks have been partly rebuilt in brick.
The building is two storeys high with two windows. A central six-panel door, which has been renewed, is set above three steps and is sheltered by a quasi-Tuscan porch with a shallow parapet. On the ground floor, there are canted bay windows with fluted timber mullions, sash windows with glazing bars, and moulded cornices. The first floor has sash windows with glazing bars set in architraves. There are end stacks and a garret window holding a sash with glazing bars on the right-hand return.
The area retaining wall features moulded copings, tapered gatepiers, and angle piers topped with acorn finials, although the left finial is missing.
