68, Platt Lane

68 Platt Lane is a detached house built in 1835, with slight alterations made over the years. The house is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, although the ground floor front is covered by 20th-century scored render, and it features a slate roof. The building has a rectangular double-depth, double-fronted plan and is designed in the Georgian style.

It stands two storeys high with a basement and attic, displaying a symmetrical façade with three windows. The central doorway, accessed by renewed steps, is framed by an Ionic pilaster doorcase and features a six-panel door with a rectangular overlight above. The windows are 12-pane sashed with flat-arched heads. At the rear, there are similar sashed windows, a central round-headed stair window with radiating glazing bars and coloured margin panes, a back door leading to the basement, and low basement windows with glazing bars. The former back door at raised ground floor level has been removed and replaced by a small 20th-century conservatory.

Inside, the house features egg-and-dart cornices, a dog-legged staircase with scrolled brackets, stick balusters, and a mahogany handrail, along with a full suite of cellar rooms. This property forms a group with the similar house at No.66 to the right.
