Description
Hardwick House is a Grade II* listed house located in Shrewsbury, dating from around 1740. It is constructed of brick and features a slate roof. The building is two stories high with an attic and has a five-window range, centered around a doorway. The entrance consists of a part-glazed five-panelled door set within an architrave, topped with a triglyph frieze and a flat entablature. The doorway is elevated by steps and surrounded by cast-iron railings. On either side of the door, there are two-pane sash windows on both floors, with recessed brick aprons under the first-floor windows and flat-arched heads featuring keystones. The corners of the house are accentuated by full-height stuccoed Doric pilasters, which also have a triglyph frieze, and there are 12-pane sash windows beneath the cornice. The gable ends have stacks. Inside, the original staircase remains, showcasing three twisted balusters per tread and carved tread-ends.
