Melrose House

Melrose House is a house that has been converted into offices. It was built in the late 18th century and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century, including a shopfront. The front of the building is made of red brick laid in Flemish bond on a painted stone plinth, with window arches of orange gauged brick and painted stone sills. It features a modillion eaves cornice and a timber shopfront. The rear is constructed of pink-grey mottled brick, also in Flemish bond. The roof is pyramidal and covered with slate, topped with a truncated brick stack at the apex.

The exterior has three storeys and four windows across the front. To the left of the shopfront is a pedimented doorcase with pilasters and an entablature. The door consists of six raised and fielded panels beneath a radial fanlight, all within a round-arched architrave. The shopfront is framed by plain pilasters with imposts and features a broad frieze and moulded cornice. It includes a central glazed door with a radial fanlight in a round-arched architrave, which is recessed between shallow bow windows, each with square-paned overlights behind decorative grilles of crossed bars. The upper floor windows are 12-pane sashes, with the first-floor windows being taller and a sill band present for the first floor, while the second-floor windows have individual sills. At the rear, there is a round-headed staircase window located to the right of centre.

Inside, there is a partly boarded-in staircase featuring cantilevered stone steps with curved tread ends, concave-sided stick balusters, and a slender ramped-up handrail.
