4, Park Street

This is a three-storey town house, built in 1881 by WH Kelly and now used as dental surgeries. The front facade is a combination of orange brick and timber framing with plaster panels, with rendered sides and a grey slate roof featuring paired gables. The main elevation has two bays. The ground floor has a fielded panel door with a one-pane, ogee-headed fanlight, and a carriage entry to the north. To the south of the door is a recessed, mullioned and transomed bay window with fifteen panes, featuring a richly carved fascia. Four ornate consoles support a carved, jettied bressumer. There is a band of small framing with ornate quadrant braces. The window has four-light mullioned and transomed casements with six panes to the lower sidelights, with glazing bars removed from the lights between and the top lights featuring two panes, a semicircular pane, and two shaped top panes. The panel width between the casements includes two ornate cartouches, and the end panels have quadrant braces above the intermediate rail. Two consoles carry a jettied bressumer inscribed "THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS A FOUNTAIN OF LIFE." The second floor has two panel widths of small framing on each side of a pair of mullioned three-light casements with semicircular upper panes, with quadrant and S bracing. Four Atlantes and two consoles are present, alongside an ornate cartouche between the windows. A jettied gabled tie-beam, a band of eight ornate St Andrew's Cross panels, and small framing in each gable are also featured. Ornate carved bargeboards sweep down to consoles that carry their outer ends, with drop finials and terracotta ridge finials at the rear. Shaped lateral chimneys are set back. The north side is rendered, while the south side is of brick with some plaster-panelled timber framing. A rear wing, lacking individual features of special interest, appears older than the front. The first-floor front room contains a fireplace with an overmantel featuring hollow obelisks as finials. There are also interior features including six-panel doors, cases and a staircase after the manner of Douglas.
