19 Carter Gate

19 Carter Gate is a mid-18th century house that features a 20th-century retail unit on the ground floor. The front elevation is made of exposed red brick laid in Flemish bond, and the roof is covered with slate tiles.

The building has a rectangular plan, oriented with its shorter ends facing north-east and south-west, presenting its front to Carter Gate in the north-west. To the south, there is a passageway leading to the rear, where a later half-width, single-storey extension is located. Another single-storey extension is situated beyond this, connecting to the rear wall in the south-east.

The house stands three stories tall with an attic. The ground floor has been modified in the late 20th century, featuring plate-glass windows beneath timber signage on either side of a central, recessed doorway. The passageway to the south is accessed through a timber door with a glazed overlight beneath a timber cover and segmented brick arches. A column covered in white faience tiles is located immediately south of this door. An incomplete ashlar pilaster extends vertically from the ground to the middle of the second storey at the southern end of the building.

Each floor and the attic contains two windows. The first floor has six-over-six sash windows beneath segmented brick arches, separated from the second floor by a three-brick plat band. The second floor features three-over-six sash windows with flat heads that abut the timber fascia above. There are two mono-pitch roofed dormer windows in the roof slope, and the house has two gable stacks. The rear fenestration mirrors that of the front, including the two box dormers in the attic storey. At the third floor, a single timber door serves as a fire escape, leading to a 20th-century steel escape stair.
