Description

Nos. 10, 12, and 14 Lancaster Road are shops with offices above, built around 1854 and later altered. They feature a painted ashlar facade over a brick structure and a slate roof, arranged in a rectangular plan and designed in a classical style. The building has three storeys and an attic, with five bays. The ground floor showcases a modillioned cornice, a giant Composite pilastrade on the upper floors, a moulded frieze, an emphatic modillioned cornice, and a plain parapet.

The ground floor includes square piers with elaborate coupled consoles supporting the cornice above, coupled doorways to the left under a keyed segmental arch, a single doorway to the right with a set-in moulded architrave beneath a lintel adorned with an anthemion crest, and an inserted doorway in the centre flanked by altered windows. The upper floors have diminishing sashed windows without glazing bars, with those on the first floor featuring moulded architraves. These windows are recessed and flanked by small square fillets treated as pilasters with acanthus caps. There is an attic skylight in the roof.

Inside, at the right-hand end, there is an open well staircase in 18th-century style, complete with an open string, scrolled brackets, stout turned balusters, and a moulded handrail, along with moulded plaster cornices featuring acanthus designs. A doorway on the first floor has a large open-pedimented architrave, leading into a full-width hall. This building forms part of a block that includes Nos. 16 and 18, Nos. 20 and 22, and No. 24 to the left.
