North House

North House is a mid-18th century house, originally a single dwelling, later divided into two separate residences, Nos. 37 and 39. It has undergone alterations in the late 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick, with the front facade rendered and incised to imitate ashlar. The left-hand gable end is treated with tar. The roof is covered with pantiles.

Originally, the house comprised a two-room front section, with a central entrance hall, and single-room wings extending to the rear and right (No. 39). No. 37 is two storeys high with an attic, and has a symmetrical three-bay facade. A recessed, half-glazed panelled door, with an overlight, is set within a pilastered doorcase topped with a bracketed cornice. This is flanked by flat-roofed, wooden canted bay windows with plate-glass sashes and pilasters, also supporting a bracketed cornice. The first floor features a central plate-glass sash with margin lights, flanked by four-pane sashes, all set within 18th-century flush wooden architraves beneath stucco flat arches. The gable ends have tumbled-in brickwork. A chimney stack runs along the main axis and the left end of the building. An attic casement with four panes is present on the left return, while an attic opening on the right return was boarded up at the time of survey.

No. 37 has a lower two-storey section with a single first-floor window. It has a half-glazed panelled door and a doorcase similar to No. 37, with a four-pane ground-floor sash beneath a stucco flat arch, and a four-pane first-floor casement beneath a stucco cambered flat arch. An end stack is located to the right.

The interior of No. 37 contains an open well staircase with a corniced handrail, plain newels, and column-on-vase balusters with round knops. The interior was not fully investigated.
