6, Fenton Street

A house, built in the early 19th century before 1821, now converted into flats. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with coursed rubble to the rear and side, and has a slate roof with a coped gable to the left and gable stacks. The house follows a double-depth single-fronted plan, and is arranged over three storeys with a cellar. It has two bays, a plinth, a first-floor sill band, and a prominent moulded cornice. The entrance is reached by three steps, enclosed by late 20th-century small bar railings with a short frieze of intersecting waves to the front, and a similar restored frieze to the sides, topped with pineapple finials. The doorway has plain reveals under a cornice on consoles, and an altered panelled door with an overlight. All windows have plain reveals and glazing bar sashes. A tall, round-headed stair window with imposts and keystone, and intersecting glazing bars, is visible on the left-hand return wall. Inside, a dogleg staircase is located between the front and back rooms, featuring an open string, stick balusters and a mahogany handrail. The tympanum of the back room contains a moulded plaster fan.
