6, Edgar Street

No. 6 Edgar Street is a house that has been converted into offices. It features an early 19th-century façade that was added to an earlier building. The structure is made of pinkish-brown brick laid in Flemish bond, with red brick arches and an ashlar plinth, quoins, sills, architrave, cornice, and copings. The roof is covered with plain tiles and there is a cast-iron boot scraper at the entrance. The building has three storeys plus an attic and two windows on the first floor. The plinth and quoins extend to the full height of the building. It has 8/8 sash windows throughout, all set in plain reveals with sills and flat arches made of gauged brick. The frieze and cyma moulded cornice have been renewed, and there is a coped parapet. The entrance is located on the right side and features a six-panel door with raised and fielded panels, set in a mid-18th-century Gibbs surround with a cornice. There is a partly concealed attic dormer on the right return. The interior has not been inspected.

Nos. 2-16 Edgar Street, along with Nos. 28-34 Sidbury, No. 12 College Precincts, Tower House at No. 1 Severn Street, and Edgar Tower on College Green, form a significant group. Edgar Street is a fine example of a Georgian street and is part of the setting for the Cathedral.
