The Pole

This is a house dating from around 1840, built with a stucco exterior and a grey slate roof. It is a symmetrical three-bay design. The house has a plain plinth, rusticated quoins, an eaves cornice, and a parapet. A canted, one-storey porch with a pair of six-panel doors is positioned centrally, topped by a looped radial-bar fanlight set within a rusticated round archway. The porch projects beyond two one-storey bay windows to each side, each with paired 12-pane sashes. There are 8-pane sashes in the oblique faces of the porch. The main storey has a 12-pane sash above the porch. Window openings have painted architraves. Three symmetrically placed chimneys are present. A one-storey wing extends to the left, mirroring the detailing of the main block with a square bay window and a single outer window. The left gable end of the main block is pedimented and contains a Diocletian window in the attic. The interior was not inspected, but visible features include a glazed inner door, sidelights with glazing-bars forming intersecting arcs, an ornate radial-bar fanlight, a panelled round archway, and a dogleg staircase with winders, stick balusters, a mahogany rail, and a curtail.
