Description
15 South Brink is a fine house built in the mid-18th century, featuring an early 19th-century rebuilt facade facing the street. The building is constructed from local brown brick with gauged red brick dressings for the original structure, along with 19th-century yellow gault brick and stone dressings. It has hipped slate roofs with end stacks and a wooden, octagonal domed cupola topped with iron railings.
The house has three storeys and a basement, with a square plan and an east wing. The street facade has five bays, a coped parapet, and a pediment, with stone bands separating the floors. The second floor features five recessed two-paned hung sash windows set in cambered gauged brick arches, while the first floor has five similar but larger windows, and the ground floor has four windows. The entrance is marked by a Doric, pedimented stone doorcase that contains an eight-panelled door and a rectangular fanlight.
On the garden facade, there are recessed giant pilasters at the quoins of gauged red brick arches, also with stone bands between the floors, a plinth, and window arches. This side features twelve-pane hung sash windows and a late 18th-century wooden doorcase with a panelled door.
Inside, the property includes a fine late 18th-century Adam style room, complete with a plastered ceiling, cornice, and a chimney piece adorned with three painted miniature insets. Most floors have dentil enriched cornices and original doors. The open-string staircase, dating from the late 18th century, comprises six flights and features a raking mahogany handrail.
The property is enclosed by iron railings along the street, shaped in plan, with two double gates. To the right of the house are school buildings constructed around 1897 by W.M. Fawcett, made of red brick with a red tiled roof. These consist of a five-bayed single-storey main range divided by brick pilasters, featuring stone transomed and mullioned three-light windows, and a two-storey cross-wing with a stepped gable. There is one stack and a tall louvred polygonal lantern with a lead cap and iron finial. An extension to the west was added in the early 20th century.
