9, Alma Road

No. 9 Alma Road, formerly known as Oak Bank, is a house dating from around 1860, attributed to the architect Cuthbert Brodrick. It is constructed of coursed gritstone and ashlar with a slate hipped roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with the central bay featuring a gable. The entrance and windows are set within full-height, slightly projecting ashlar panels. The central entrance consists of a four-panelled door, with the top two panels being glazed, and is topped by a semicircular overlight in a round arch, which is adorned with bosses in the architrave and rusticated voussoirs, along with a cornice above. On either side of the entrance are square bay windows, each with three round-arched lights. The three first-floor windows are set in elliptical arch recesses, each featuring two round-arch lights. A deep wooden bracketed cornice and moulded stacks are positioned to the left and right, at the rear of the ridge. The interior has not been inspected. The property is currently owned by the Lutheran Church.
