Description
Liverpool House is a house that has been converted into a shop and flat, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of red brick with painted stone dressings and features a plain tile roof. The building stands three storeys high and includes chamfered stone quoins, a moulded stone cornice, a parapet with stone coping, and parapeted gable ends with stone copings. There are integral brick end stacks and an integral brick corner stack to the right at the rear. A small central dormer, covered with lead, has a flat roof and a boarded door.
The façade consists of three bays with plate-glass sashes, which are 18th-century sashes that have had their glazing bars removed. These windows have painted stone cills and painted stone lintels that feature chanelled rustication and raised triple keystones. The building also has a complete early 19th-century wooden shop front, which includes Green Doric columns that are paired to the left and flank a side door on the right. This shop front supports a triglyph frieze and a moulded cornice with guttae, although much of this detail is now obscured by a late 20th-century fascia added in November 1986. The shop front includes plate-glass windows and a central glazed door flanked by panelled pilasters and carved consoles. To the right, there is a four-panelled side door, with the lower panels being flush. A wooden name-board is positioned between the first and second-floor windows. At the rear, there is a brick wing with a large gabled dormer. The interior has not been inspected. This house has been dated to 1775.
