1, 2 And 3 With Attached Front Garden Walls

1, 2, and 3 with attached front garden walls are an early 19th-century terrace located in The Square, Ellesmere Port and Neston. Originally built as a hotel for Mersey ferry passengers, the building has since been converted into a house flanked by two slightly recessed cottages. The structure is made of brown brick in Flemish bond and features a graded grey Welsh slate hipped roof with a central simplified pediment gable at the front. The eaves are simple, and there are symmetrical brick chimneys. A painted sandstone string course runs at the first-floor level. The windows and cottage doorways have flat rubbed-brick arches, while the house doorway features a semi-circular brick arch with moulded stone lining. There is a blocked arched window opening in the pediment. The house retains a 6-panel front door behind hardboard, with a semi-circular decorative fanlight above it. The cottages have 4-panel replacement doors with plain rectangular fanlights above. All front windows of the house and cottages are 16-pane double-hung Georgian sashes that are recessed.

Inside the house, there is a quasi-classical hardwood arch (painted) between the hall and stairwell, a simple dog-leg Georgian stair with wrought square banisters, and 6-panel doors leading to all main rooms. The interiors of the cottages have not been inspected. The garden walls are made of rubble sandstone with flush copings.
