Description
Waverley House is a large town house, now used as offices, built around 1830 and converted in the 20th century. It was designed by John Clark. The building is made of red brick with stone details and has a slate roof. It stands three storeys high over a basement and features six first-floor windows on a corner site.
The façade includes a pilastered doorcase positioned to the right of the centre, tall windows with top-hung casements designed to resemble sashes with glazing bars on the ground and first floors, and 9-pane windows on the top storey. There is a deep band at the ground-floor level with recessed panels beneath the windows, a first-floor band, and stone sills. A narrow sill band is present on the top storey, topped with a shallow moulded pediment and gable copings.
On the left return, there are three windows on the front block gable end to the right, a door with an overlight set in a surround with a deep bracketed hood, and two windows to the left, with a parapet above. The interior has not been inspected.
