Description

38 Back Turner Street is a house with an integral workshop and cellar, likely built in the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the late 19th century.

The building is constructed of painted red brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. It is a single bay wide and three rooms deep. The house is situated closely on the narrow Back Turner Street, with taller listed buildings immediately next to it on the south and east sides, and across the street are three former attic-workshop dwellings that are also three storeys high with a basement.

The entrance to number 38 is located on the left side, accessed by a flight of five steps that has been altered to run across the building. To the right of the doorway is a modified ground-floor window with stacked openings above, all featuring 20th-century joinery set within openings that have segmental-arch lintels and projecting stone sills. The roof has three pitches, with the ridge set back and a valley behind. A tall brick chimney stack is positioned on the right side. The left and right returns of the building are adjacent to and obscured by neighboring buildings, while the rear, which was not inspected, overlooks a small yard.

The interior of the building has not been inspected.
