Description
Buxton House is a hydropathic establishment that has been converted into a house and shops. It dates from the late 18th century, with early 19th-century additions and 20th-century shop fronts. The building is constructed from coursed limestone with ashlar millstone grit dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with coped gables and stone stacks.
The exterior has three storeys and an attic, with quoins, first and second-floor sill bands, and chamfered eaves. The street front has three windows. A central door, accessed by three steps, has a painted ashlar surround with Tuscan Doric columns supporting a broken swan-necked pediment. The round-headed doorway features a six-panel door and a fanlight. On either side of the door are single shop fronts with painted pilaster surrounds and central recessed shop doors. Above the door is a central round-headed window in a moulded ashlar surround with a keystone, flanked by tripartite oriel bow windows that have 2/2 sashes and flat roofs. Above these are three 2/2 sashes in plain ashlar surrounds, and above again is a single central round-headed dormer window with a 4/2 sash and keystone.
The right return of the building is rendered and has a single window on each floor, with the ground floor window being round-headed. Inside, the staircase rises from the rear of the entrance hall, and rooms open off the hallway. There is a late 19th-century glazed door and screen that have been inserted.
