Barroll House

Barroll House, formerly known as Nos. 127 and 128 St Owen Street, is a building that dates from the early 19th century. Originally houses, it has been converted into shops and offices. The structure is made of painted brick and features a hipped slate roof with a brick end stack. It has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys high with a cellar.

The exterior displays a five-window range, with a central recessed tripartite window that has been altered to include 2/2, 6/6, and 2/2 sashes, all framed by architraves and an enriched pediment. This is flanked by 6/6 sashes under gauged brick flat arches. There is also a round-headed tripartite light beneath a semicircular head of the recess, accompanied by additional 6/6 sashes under gauged brick arches. The building features brick modillion eaves and has had its shop fronts altered in the early 20th century, showcasing moulded fascia-boards and hoods on panelled pilasters. A firemark is also present.

On the right side, there is a returned shop front and eaves detail, with a 6/6 sash and a late 19th-century 2/2 sash above it. The front also includes paired 6/6 sashes and segmental arches, along with old glass. The entrance features a late 19th-century part-glazed panelled door with a moulded architrave under a segmental arch, alongside a 20th-century shop front.

Inside No. 24 (Barroll House), there is a 19th-century dogleg staircase with stick balusters and a moulded string and rail. On the second floor at the front, there is a blocked fireplace, a partition, and a panelled door with clerestory lights, as well as a tripartite sash and a Venetian window above. The first floor at the front features a moulded wood arch, ceiling coving, and a late 19th-century tiled fire surround in the front right. The rear wing contains two four-panel doors, an early 19th-century fireplace, and a vaulted ceiling. The cellar has masonry steps and a six-panel door leading to the rear.

In No. 26A, there is a 19th-century staircase with stick balusters leading to the attic from the first floor, which also has six-panel doors. The cellar is mainly stone-lined.
