134, Standishgate

This is a late 18th-century town house, dated 1753 on a rainwater head, and subject to later alterations. The house is constructed of handmade red brick in a Flemish bond, with a sandstone plinth and dressings, and has a slate roof. It has a double-depth, double-fronted plan.

The Georgian building is three storeys high and has a symmetrical facade with three windows. It features a chamfered plinth that rises to the ground-floor sill level, and a modillioned cornice. The central doorway has a round head with a gauged brick head. It is surrounded by a set-in panelled wooden doorcase, with a panelled wooden door and a fanlight featuring radiating glazing bars; all of this joinery appears to have been renewed. The windows are sash windows, with 12 panes on the ground floor and first floor, and 9 panes on the second floor. They all have raised sills and large wedge lintels with keystones. A lead downspout is located to the left of the centre, featuring a moulded rainwater head inscribed with "1753 / RG”. Cut-down chimneys are present at both gables. The right-hand gable wall is linked to number 136 by a screen wall containing an archway belonging to that property.

The interior has been altered and was reportedly in poor condition. The building was unoccupied during an inspection in July 1992. It forms a group with numbers 136 and 138 along Standishgate.
