48, North Bar Without

No 48 North Bar Without is a building constructed for R Featherstone between 1726 and 1734. It features two storeys and an attic, built in red brick with a modern tiled roof, and has three small pedimented dormers. The first floor includes four sash windows with exposed frames and glazing bars. The doorway and window above are part of a break in the façade. The wood doorcase is adorned with Doric pilasters and an entablature that includes a triglyph and dentil pediment. The door itself has six fielded panels and an ornamental rectangular fanlight. Patches of darker brick show where the original window openings were, and all windows now have modern shutters.

Inside, the staircase is of a pseudo-cantilevered type, featuring an open string, alternate iron-twist balusters, and a semi-spiral curtail with a fluted columnar terminal newel. It has a moulded handrail and fielded panelling to the dado. The ground floor room is fully panelled with fielded panels, a moulded chair rail, and a dentilled box cornice. It also has a panelled stone chimneypiece and a panelled overmantel with a shouldered architrave. Another room on the first floor has moulded panelling, and the landing window includes a fielded panelled window seat. One ground floor room features a modillioned cornice, and the hall has a stone-flagged floor. There is also a firemark from the Sun Assurance company.
