Description
No. 12 Lowwood Road is a house that was formerly a vicarage, built around 1840 to 1850. It features coursed and squared rubble with ashlar dressings and has a hipped Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a two-unit double pile plan with a central entrance. The façade is symmetrical with a two-window range. The entrance has paired part-glazed doors set in a stressed architrave, which is adorned with an acanthus frieze. On either side of the entrance are renewed squared bay windows, and above them on the first floor are tripartite sash windows supported by cast-iron colonettes and entablatures on console brackets. A moulded string course runs along the building, and there are paired side wall stacks.
