Cardigan House

Cardigan House is an early 19th-century red brick house located on Burton Street. It features stone bands between the floors, a wide eaves cornice supported by paired modillions, and a slate roof. The building has three storeys and three sash windows with glazing bars, although two of the windows have modern glazing. The central entrance has a modern glazed door framed by a rusticated stone surround and a projecting stone porch designed in the Roman Ionic order, complete with a plain frieze and cornice. Above the porch is a good cast iron balcony. In front of the house, there is a small terrace that has lost its railings. Viscount Brudenell lived in this house until his death in 1868; he later became the Earl of Cardigan and is known for ordering the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. The listed buildings on Burton Street, including Nos 24 to 36 (even), form a group of local interest.
