Description

This is a house dating from the middle to late 18th century, located in Shifnal. It is constructed of red brick with a hipped roof covered in old tile. The house is three storeys high and features a rendered plinth, rendered sills to the central bay, pilaster strips, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice with a small triangular pediment over the centre bay. A stack is located at the rear of the building. There are five bays, with the central bay slightly projecting. The windows are glazing bar sashes with gauged heads; the second floor window in the centre bay has a lugged architrave, and the first-floor window has a lugged architrave, pulvinated frieze, and cornice.

The central entrance door has six raised and fielded panels, an architrave, and a semi-circular fanlight with intersecting Gothic tracery. The doorcase consists of two fluted, three-quarter Doric columns supporting a broken entablature with a triglyph frieze, and an open triangular pediment with paterae on the soffit. Two small, flanking, round arched side lights have sashes. The side elevations have two bays each.

Inside, there is an 18th-century square well staircase that rises over two floors, with landings. The staircase has an open string, turned balusters, a moulded ramped handrail with inlay at the foot, column newels, and a curved top landing balustrade.
