10, Edgar Street

No. 10 Edgar Street is a house built in the late 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It features pinkish-brown brickwork in Flemish bond and a stuccoed ground floor that is scored to imitate ashlar. The roof is covered with plain tiles and is hipped at the front, with a tall left end stack that has an oversailing course and pots.

The building has three storeys and two windows on the first floor. Both the ground and first floors have two 6/6 sash windows with plain reveals and sills; the first-floor windows are topped with flat arches made of gauged brick. The second floor has a tripartite window with a 3/6 sash flanked by 1/2 sashes in a near-flush frame, also with a sill. A modillion eaves band runs along the roofline. The entrance is located on the left and features a renewed six-panel door with raised and fielded panels, an overlight with margin lights, and a doorcase with fluted pilasters, a frieze, and a hood.

The interior has not been inspected. No. 10 is part of a significant group of buildings along Edgar Street, which includes Nos. 2-16 (consecutive), Nos. 28-34 (even) Sidbury, No. 12 College Precincts, Tower House at No. 1 Severn Street, and Edgar Tower on College Green. Edgar Street is a fine example of a Georgian street and contributes to the setting of the nearby Cathedral.
