Description
This house, originally a single dwelling and now subdivided, was built around 1800 and extended in the mid-19th century. It suffered bomb damage during the Second World War, after which it was reduced in height and repaired. The front of the building is buff-orange brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a stone plinth; the remainder is rendered, with quoins also rendered and a timber doorcase. The stacks have brick cornices, topping a pantile roof.
The front facade has two storeys and four windows. A central doorcase, featuring fluted pilasters with imposts and a dentil cornice, contains a six-panel door with a radial fanlight recessed within a panelled reveal. The windows are 12-pane sashes with slender glazing bars, painted stone sills, and flat arches of rubbed brick; the windows to the right are painted orange. An entrance to No. 68 has a glazed and panelled door beneath a flat, bracketed hood to its return. Ground floor windows on the left return are 12-pane sashes with cambered heads; other ground floor windows are 20th-century replacements.
Inside No. 68, a ground floor room contains a late 18th-century fireplace surround, which was originally from No. 56 Skeldergate.
