Description

14 Foyle Street is a house built around 1840, with an additional storey added around 1900. It is constructed of garden wall bond brick, featuring five and one bond, with a painted basement and painted ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and a basement, with three windows visible from the street. The ground floor on the left side is obscured by a 20th-century shop front.

The elevation facing Foyle Street includes steps leading up to a central six-panelled door, where the centre panels are rounded. This door folds back into a doorcase supported by fluted Greek Doric pilasters, adorned with a palmette and anthemion frieze in the entablature. To the right of the door, there are sash windows with glazing bars, featuring wedge stone lintels and a projecting stone sill. The first-floor windows are four-pane sashes set on a sill band, while the second-floor windows also have four panes and flat stone lintels above them.

The hipped roof includes two dormer windows with glazing bars, which are set in boarded gables and have slate-hung sides. There are chimneys at both ends and at the rear of the building. The left side of the house is partly obscured by a one-storey shop located on Borough Road.
