Description
Cumberland House is a pair of houses, now used as a surgery, located in Macclesfield. The building dates from the early 18th century and has been successively extended and converted into two dwellings in the later 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed and squared small rubble with ashlar dressings and features a stone-flagged roof.
The original building, located to the left, is two storeys high and has a two-window range. It includes a single Palladian window on the ground floor and two 12-pane sash windows above, complemented by a painted stone sill band. The eaves cornice is delicately moulded with modillions. The present entrance is located in a somewhat later extension to the right, which is also two storeys and has a two-window range. This entrance features a doorway to the left in a pedimented case, with a 12-pane sash window alongside and above.
The third phase of the building forms a separate dwelling on Cumberland Street. This section is two storeys high with a three-window range, featuring a central round-arched entrance with a Tuscan architrave and a radial fanlight. Flanking this entrance are 12-pane sash windows with flat-arched heads. The building has end wall stacks throughout.
