Number 29 And Adjoining Stable Block

This is a late 18th-century house with an adjoining stable block, now used as a doctor’s surgery. The house is constructed of red brick with a 2-span plain tile roof. It has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys high. A painted chamfered sandstone plinth and a dentil brick eaves cornice are visible, with the right-hand corner rounded on the ground floor. An integral brick end stack is located on the left. The house has three bays with glazing bar sashes, painted stone cills, and gauged-brick heads; the central bay is blind. The front door is centrally positioned and features six raised and fielded panels, a four-part rectangular overlight, and a wooden porch with attenuated unfluted baseless Doric columns, fluted pilasters, an entablature, and a triangular pediment. Two slate steps and bootscrapers are present. A mid-19th century four-panelled door with a rectangular overlight, panelled reveals, a moulded architrave, and consoles supporting a cornice is on the right-hand gable end. A late 19th-century wing extends to the rear.

The adjoining stable block is a red brick structure with a plain tile roof and an L-plan with a gable to the left. It features a dentil brick eaves cornice and crowstepped gable ends. A segmental-headed boarded loft door is on the left, alongside a large five-light segmental-headed ground-floor window with a chamfered cill, formerly belonging to a coach house. A section is set back to the right, displaying an elliptical archway leading to a yard behind, with impost blocks and a pair of boarded gates. A lower range connects to the rear.

Inside the house, a 18th-century three-flight square-well oak staircase rises to the attic, incorporating winders and half landings, an open string with cut brackets, moulded nosings, column-on-vase balusters (two per tread), a ramped moulded handrail, and columnular newel posts. The ground floor features two deep-chamfered beams. A large open fireplace is in the right-hand ground-floor room, with a chamfered segmental wooden lintel, a plain 18th-century surround, a moulded cornice, and a mantelshelf with a reeded front. The left-hand ground-floor room has an early 19th-century fireplace with a reeded architrave. A rear room on the ground floor has an 18th-century door with two raised and fielded panels. The first and second floors contain 18th-century doors with two raised and fielded panels. A 18th-century fireplace is in the right-hand first-floor room with a lugged architrave, a cast-iron grate is present. Second-floor fireplaces include a lugged architrave in the right-hand room, a moulded architrave in the left-hand room, and an architrave and moulded cornice in the left-hand rear room.
