Description
Varvil's Warehouse is a warehouse built in 1849, designed by J B and William Atkinson for Mr. Robert Varvill. It is constructed of orange-red brick in English bond, featuring ashlar dressings and a timber eaves band. The building has a truncated brick stack on the right side of a hipped roof covered with Welsh slate.
The exterior consists of a basement, two-and-a-half storeys, and an attic, with a three-bay front. The rusticated ashlar basement has three segment-arched openings, all of which are now blocked, with the center arch being wider than the outer arches. The upper floors feature a center bay designed as a two-and-a-half storey semicircular arch on pilasters, flanked by full-height outer pilasters. The ground floor includes part-glazed and panelled double doors in the center bay, situated between single-light windows. Above, the mezzanine floor has a 4-light lunette flanked by round-headed windows. The second floor features segment-headed double doors in the center, with round-headed windows on each side. In the attic, the windows are tall sashes beneath a continuous lintel, with a raised sill band that rises to form a shallow pediment over the center bay arch. The windows on the ground and second floors have stone sills, and there are raised bands below the mezzanine, second, and attic floors. The interior has not been inspected.
