239, Mottram Road

No. 239 Mottram Road is a house and attached front boundary wall built around 1840, with later alterations and refurbishment in 1996. The building is constructed of finely-jointed red brick laid in Flemish bond, rising from a low stone plinth. It features a Welsh slated roof with two substantial brick stacks positioned below the ridge on the front slope. The house has a double-depth plan, comprising two storeys with attics.

The symmetrical front includes a wide, semi-circular headed doorway with a false double door made up of six panels, topped by a glazed overlight. Flanking the doorway are narrow half-glazed panels that illuminate the vestibule. On either side of the doorway, there are hornless glazing bar sash windows on each floor, with eight panes over eight panes, beneath painted wedge lintels. The central first-floor sash window has six panes over six panes.

Inside, the double-depth plan remains largely undisturbed, retaining features such as panelled doors, moulded architraves and skirtings, moulded plaster cornices and archways, a dogleg staircase with turned balusters, and a tall stair window with margin glazing. The hallway boasts a patterned encaustic tile floor. The low ashlar front boundary wall has saddleback coping, with a brick end pier on the right and a stone pier on the left, complemented by plain late 20th-century railings and a gate.
