Number 24 with Attached Forecourt Wall

Number 24 is a house, now converted into flats, dating from the mid-18th century and altered around 1800. It is built of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and chamfered quoins, topped with a slate roof and gable chimney stacks to the right and left. The house has a double-depth plan and five bays over three storeys and a cellar. All windows have moulded architraves and contain 12-pane sashes, with the window heights decreasing on each successive floor; some of the glazing in the upper windows may be original. The central doorway, approached by three steps, has a panelled door with a six-panel lower section and an integral overlight featuring diagonal glazing bars arranged to create semi-ellipses above and below and circles on the sides. A level forecourt, on a sloping site, is enclosed by a low wall with returned, ramped sides and cast-iron railings. A cellar-level doorway is located far to the left, beyond the forecourt. The rear elevation includes a full-height stair window above the back door and, to the right, a first-floor Venetian window with Gothic glazing bars, alongside coupled windows above and below.

Inside, there is a dogleg open-string staircase with three slender turned balusters per tread and an altered handrail with a wreathed curtail. Doors feature raised and fielded panels, including double doors under a semi-elliptical archway dating from around 1800, which connects the first-floor reception rooms. An Adam-style fireplace is present in one reception room. The building was formerly used as offices by Paley and Austin (Architects) from around 1870 until around 1940.
