Description
No. 1 Derby Place, along with No. 37 Hoole Road, consists of two townhouses built in the 1840s. They are constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond with pale headers and feature a grey slate roof. The buildings have a painted stone plinth and sills, wedge lintels, recessed sash windows, and an eaves cornice.
The façade facing Hoole Road includes the front of No. 37 and the right end of No. 1 Derby Place. It has three stone steps leading to a recessed round-arched porch, which has plinths and capitals on the pilasters, along with a concave triangular recessed panel on each side of the arch. The porch features a projecting keystone and a cornice hood. The door consists of two tall panels, with a 4-pane sash window on each side of the door, plus another sash window for No. 1 Derby Place on the left. The first floor has three 4-pane sashes, along with one additional sash for Derby Place.
The side facing Derby Place has three stone steps, with the lower two refaced in concrete, leading to a door of two tall panels with a simple overlight in a plain pilastered case. There is a 4-pane sash window on each side of the door, plus a 12-pane sash in a slightly recessed rear wing. The first floor features three 4-pane sashes in the main block and a 12-pane sash in the rear wing. The interiors have not been inspected. This building forms a group with Nos. 3 and 5 Derby Place.
