House and garden wall at 33 Brandling Park; part of garden wall to number 32

House and attached garden wall, dating from the 1820s.

The house is constructed of English bond hand-made brick with ashlar dressings and a brick plinth, beneath a Welsh slate roof with flat stone gable coping. It is an end of terrace house with a central staircase plan.

The main west-facing elevation has two storeys plus an attic and partial basement, arranged in three bays beneath a pitched roof. A renewed left end brick chimneystack and three Velux windows pierce the roof. A stone eaves cornice, sill band and plinth run across the elevation. The ground floor has a central six-panelled door with fanlight and glazing bars, set in deep reveals beneath a round-headed brick arch. To either side are wide sash windows with wedge stone lintels and sill bands. The left window has been enlarged to two lights, each fitted with six-over-six sashes; the right has an eight-over-eight sash. All windows are now fitted with early 21st-century uPVC horned sash frames. The first floor has three irregularly-spaced windows with wedge stone lintels, projecting stone sills and six-over-six sash windows. The left return, which forms the end of terrace, is blind except for a second floor window.

The rear elevation has scattered fenestration including a stair window, all with wedge lintels, projecting sills and early 21st-century uPVC horned sash window frames. An original ground floor window has been enlarged to two lights, and there are two 21st-century roof dormers with uPVC frames. To the left end is an original early 19th-century projecting two-storey range with pitched slate roof, its ground floor now converted to a garage. To the right end is a two-storey flat-roofed range, original at ground floor level with a later 20th-century first floor. The later 20th-century first floor of the right range, early 21st-century single-storey extensions to both ranges, modern brick walling forming garages, and a 21st-century porch are not included in the listing.

The interior retains substantial original features. Doors throughout are mostly original six-panel doors with original door furniture. Exposed floors have wide floorboards. Chimney pieces are mostly simple early 19th-century forms with blocks to the angles and rectangular-headed cast-iron hob grates.

The main entrance leads through a small vestibule, via a four-panel glazed door with rectangular fanlight, into a short hall. Both spaces have simple plaster cornices. On either side are two principal reception rooms entered through six-panel doors with reeded architraves and block angles. The front south room has an identical architrave to the inner side of the door and to the window, a panelled dado with fluted cornice, a moulded plaster cornice and a later 19th-century chimney piece. The front north room has an original early 19th-century timber fireplace with arched hob grate and a moulded plaster cornice. The enlarged window overlooking the garden has a replacement plain architrave. The east wall of this room has been pierced by a substantial arch opening into the rear north room, which contains modern kitchen fittings and opens into the ground floor of the rear range, now a utility room. The rear south room opens off a small stair hall, and retains an early 19th-century timber chimney piece with reeded jambs and lintel, and a round-headed alcove to the right. The ceiling rose and cornice are modern.

The simple stair hall contains a timber stair arch supported on slim pilasters and a door giving access to the cellar, reached by stone steps (clad with plywood) and divided into compartments, one with stone cellar shelving. The dog-leg open-string stair has simple stick balusters, turned newel posts (some double), a mahogany handrail and panelled dado, rising through the first floor to the attic.

The principal bedroom retains a moulded cornice, three-panel shutters to the windows and a marble chimney piece with arched hob grate. The second bedroom retains a simple early 19th-century wooden chimney piece and similar shutters; a modern ensuite bathroom occupies the first floor of the original rear range. A third bedroom retains a similar chimney piece and a reeded architrave with block angles. There are a further bedroom and two additional bathrooms on this floor. The attic retains a cast-iron chimney piece and partially exposed roof trusses with single purlins.

Attached to the north-west corner of the house is a boundary wall enclosing the garden of number 33 and extending partially around the adjacent garden of number 32. The wall is ramped at the front, with an outer face of coursed squared sandstone and an inner face of hand-made brick in English bond. It has flat coping stones. A bricked-up door in the higher left section has a flat stone lintel and large alternate-block jambs. A modern summer house attached to the inner face of this wall is not included in the listing.
