Description
This is a house, dating from the late 18th century, with alterations and extensions from the early to mid-19th century. The exterior is colourwashed roughcast, with dentil brick eaves, 20th-century interlocking tile roofs, and a brick chimney to the right of the original block. The house comprises a tall, three-story block of three bays on the left, a lower, three-story extension of around 1840 in the centre, and a lower bay to the right, which may be of a later date. The left bays feature boxed three-pane sash windows with keyblocks, the second-floor windows being square. A ground-floor window on the left was altered in the mid-19th century to a semicircular bay window with three three-pane sashes. A six-panelled, top-lit door is centrally located, with two spreading segmental stone steps and a late 19th-century lean-to hood supported on wooden brackets. The central section has two bays with boxed four-pane sashes, including square windows to the top floor. The right bay is blind and has a single-storey outbuilding attached to its side. The house was the residence of the poet Thomas Moore for one year, from 1812 to 1813.
