3, Latham Street

This is a mid- to late 19th-century town house located on Latham Street, Preston. Constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, it features sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The building follows a double-depth, double-fronted plan, presenting a four-window facade. A first-floor string course, a plain frieze, and a moulded gutter cornice run along the top of the building.

The ground floor has a round-headed doorway positioned to the left, framed by a large stone architrave with a moulded surround, hollow spandrels, and a prominent cornice with dentils. To the right of the doorway are three windows, all containing four-pane sashes with moulded architraves and sill blocks. Cellar windows sit beneath each of these, each with a stone lintel and protective grating, though the grating on the right-hand window has been altered. The first floor has four sash windows without glazing bars, each set within a segmental-headed, shouldered architrave.

The interior and rear of the building were not inspected during the listing process. Historically, the building was used as a warehouse. It forms a group with numbers 1 and 2 to the left, and numbers 5 to 7 to the right, and there is no number 4 on Latham Street.
