Description

This is a group of three late 18th-century houses, now combined into one office building, located on South Parade, Doncaster. The buildings are stucco faced with painted stone dressings, and have slate roofs. The structure is three storeys high and originally comprised four bays of varying sizes. The left bay is slightly advanced and taller, with an additional section of walling projecting at ground and first floor levels. The right bay also projects slightly. A semi-circular doorcase with a moulded architrave, reeded imposts, swagged spandrels, and a moulded hood supported on fluted consoles, is located in the narrow third bay, leading to a double leaf six-panelled door beneath a traceried fanlight.

The right-hand bay features a two-storey bow window with a central tripartite sash window containing twelve and eight panes, flanked by narrow, blind flat-headed recesses. A tripartite sash window with glazing bars is situated to the left of the door. The left-hand bay contains a similar bowed window at a higher level, above a continuous sill band. All other windows have projecting sills. The first floor has a wide, continuous band across bays two, three, and four, with a narrower band set higher on the left-hand bay. This left bay also has a full-height corniced tripartite bow window with unequally hung fifteen and five panes, and a semi-circular ironwork balcony with alternating wavy and plain bars.

The central bays have a tripartite twelve and four-pane sash window with a projecting sill on the left and an eight-pane sash with a similar sill on the right. The right-hand bay has a full-height tripartite window with unequally hung fifteen and ten panes, flanked by semi-circular, flat-headed recesses. A corniced top is visible on the right-hand bow at the level of the second-floor band. The second floor features a six-pane sash to the left, a tripartite window with six and two panes to the right, a four-pane sash beyond, and a tripartite window with six and four panes below the cornice, with a central pediment flanked by flat-headed recesses. The upper portion of the external façade exhibits a moulded stone cornice with a blocking course to the left bay. The building has a hipped roof with a brick end wall stack to the left bay, and three raking dormers to the right-hand bays – two with four-pane sashes and one with side-sliding sashes. Ridge and end wall brick stacks are also present.

The interior includes a cantilevered open-well stone staircase with a wreathed mahogany handrail and alternating wavy and stick iron balusters, located in the rear staircase hall. The entrance hall features a moulded cornice and a round arch with paterae in the spandrels, leading to the staircase. A panelled room to the right has a moulded cornice and dado rail.
