Description
Number 215 is a house, now used as an optician's consulting rooms, dating to circa 1840. It may have been designed by George Jackson. The house is constructed of brick with a stucco front, and has a hipped slate roof with four rendered stacks. It features a plinth and a moulded eaves band. The central part is slightly recessed. The two-window front has plain sash windows with moulded surrounds. A central Doric portico, topped with an entablature and pediment, shelters a half-glazed double door and fanlight. Flanking the portico are larger plain sash windows with moulded surrounds. A single-storey porch, originally with a pediment, sits to the right, and has a moulded six-panel door. A renewed wrought-iron railing sits on an ashlar plinth, with two battered square piers, each featuring a plinth and a Soanian pediment. A 19th-century wrought-iron gate is present. The garden front has a recessed central entrance bay with a round-arched stair window containing glazing bars, with voussoirs and a keystone. Below is a doorway with voussoirs, and above, a single-light box dormer. To the left is a three-storey bay with two glazing bar sashes on each floor, with one of the second-floor windows being reglazed. To the right is a two-storey hipped bow window, featuring two 12-pane curved sashes above and two similar 15-pane sashes below. All these windows have lintels with voussoirs and keystones.
