The Grove

This is a house, likely dating to around 1870. It is constructed from brown brick laid in a distinctive pattern, with bands of red brick and some applied half-timbering, and has a slate roof. The house is double-fronted and built in a German vernacular style, with an asymmetrical design. It has two storeys and five windows, two of which are blind. A prominent gable is located on the left half, featuring red-brick bands at sill and lintel level on both floors. The upper half of the gable has applied half-timbering and projecting, tapered bargeboarding along the verges. The right portion of the building features a deep eaves cornice made of four stepped courses of red brick.

The ground floor has a recessed doorway offset to the left, a large three-light window to the left, and a matching window to the right. Above the ground floor band, there are unusual red-brick arches over the windows on the left and right. The upper floor has two two-light casement windows in each section, with a blind window between the pair to the left, also featuring an arch above its lintel. All windows have stone sills and lintels that project slightly. A tall chimney is visible along the roof ridge.

The house is part of a small and distinctive settlement. It represents a rare example of domestic architecture reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of 19th-century Manchester society and is grouped with numbers 803-5 and 807 Wilmslow Road. The rear of the property and its interior have not been inspected.
