Former Institute (Now Office Of Chartered Surveyor)

The Former Institute, now the office of a chartered surveyor, was built in 1870, likely designed by John Douglas for the 3rd Marquis of Westminster. This 1½ storey rectangular building is styled in an early 17th century manner. It features brown brick on a high sandstone plinth, with timber-framed gables that are jettied at the right end. The roof is covered with red tiles, and there is a central chimney made of shaped brickwork. The lower storey has stone mullioned windows in a Jacobean style, which are multi-light. The central doorway is basket-arched and made of stone, with a moulded intrados and reveals. Above the entrance, there is an oak-framed dormer that includes an oak casement and tile-hung sides. The original leaded glazing has been removed, and the rear windows have been altered. The interior has not been inspected.
