Description
Paget House is an early 19th-century stuccoed house located on West Street. It has a low-pitched slate roof with wide eaves. The building is two storeys high and features three original sash windows with glazing bars and sills on the West Street side, with later narrow sashes added between and beside a double-recessed doorway. This doorway has a wide door with six fielded panels and a large rectangular fanlight above it. A narrow moulded string course runs along the first floor level.
On the garden front, the house also has two storeys and five windows. The first-floor windows are sashes with glazing bars and sills, while the ground floor has right-hand sashes with glazing bars and margin panes on the left, along with tall sashes at ground level that also have margin panes. The central door on this side is wide, with six fielded panels and a rectangular fanlight featuring glazing bars. Inside, there is a plain staircase with a semi-circular headed stair window facing Princess Street, flanked by round-headed niches.
