Description
This is a house, originally built in 1711 and incorporating an earlier structure. It was later used as an architectural restorer's workshop and flat. The building was constructed for Thomas and Elizabeth Steade. It is built of squared dressed stone with ashlar dressings, and retains remnants of a timber frame. The roof is stone slate with gabled and hipped sections, featuring a central coped ridge stack and four gable stacks. Architectural features include a chamfered plinth, quoins, a first-floor band, an eaves cornice, and a parapet with a central balustrade supported by scrolls and four pedestals. The front elevation has two storeys and a five-window arrangement of 12-pane sash windows. A moulded stone doorcase is topped by scroll brackets and a segmental pediment, and a central datestone is inscribed "T E S 1711". Further 12-pane sash windows flank the door. To the right is a lower two-storey addition with a single 12-pane sash window on the upper floor and two slightly taller 12-pane sashes below. The rear elevation has a large and small gable and an irregular arrangement of windows. The interior features two bay posts in the roof space and single purlin principal rafter roofs with a crown post at the east end. A dogleg oak staircase from the early 18th century has alternating vase and stem, and twisted balusters.
