4 And 4A, Christ Hospital Terrace

A house, later divided into a house and a flat, was built in the early 18th century and subsequently altered in the mid-19th century and the mid to late 20th century. The construction combines brickwork with coursed rubble, a rubble plinth, stone dressings, and a plain tile roof with two gable stacks. A first-floor band and modillion wooden eaves are also present.

The exterior is two storeys plus a basement and attics, originally with four bays. The window openings are characterized by segmental brick heads. A 20th-century door is positioned off-centre, flanked to the left by two glazing bar sashes and to the right by a single sash. Giant brick pilasters define the bays on the upper floors, with four glazing bar sashes on each floor. Two segmental-headed dormers with sliding sashes are situated above.

To the right is a single-bay addition featuring stone steps and a scrolled iron handrail. It incorporates a recessed six-panel door with overlight, and a plain sash above, both with brick flat arches.

The interior has undergone extensive remodelling in the mid to late 20th century, but retains fragments of exposed rubble wall in the basement and attic. The ground floor incorporates fragments of early 17th and 18th century panelling, rearranged as a wall panel. Similar fragments are reused as overdoor panels on the first floor.

A dogleg staircase, dating to the early 18th century, retains some original features, including square newels and vase and stem balusters, though the lower flight was renewed around 1900. The basement features three exposed beams, one cambered and stop-chamfered with run-out stops. Other main rooms have exposed beams.
