Description

Lindencourt House, located at No.34 Charlotte Street in Manchester, is a grade II listed textile merchants' warehouse built in 1855 by Edward Walters. The building has been altered and now also serves as a bar and offices. It features light red brick with sandstone dressings and has a shallow rectangular plan that runs parallel to the street, with a loading area on the left side wall. Designed in a simplified Italian palazzo style, it comprises a basement and five storeys, displaying a six-window facade. The facade includes a channelled plinth, quoins, sill-bands on all floors, and a moulded cornice.

On the ground floor, the fourth bay features a large round-headed stone doorway with a channelled cavetto surround, swagged spandrels, and a cornice. It also has round-headed windows with keystones that connect to the sill-band above. The upper floors are adorned with segmental-headed windows, all fitted with recessed four-pane sashes, except for those on the top floor which have altered four-pane glazing. The right-hand side wall, which has three bays in a matching style, includes a large round-headed stone doorway in the third bay (39 Faulkner Street). The left side wall, facing Reyner Street, has a full-height former loading slot that is now blocked.

Inside, there is an open-well staircase featuring an open string, two stout turned balusters per tread, and a broad mahogany handrail with a large raised grip; however, the rest of the interior was not inspected. Lindencourt House is part of a group of five similar buildings on this side of the street, four of which were designed by the same architect.
