6, North Brink

No. 6 North Brink is an early 18th century house that was originally three storeys high, with a service basement, and was raised to four storeys around 1820 to 1840. It is built of local brown brick, featuring red brick quoins and window jambs, and has a slate roof with end stacks and a shallow parapet with stone copings. The house has four bays, with four six-paned hung sash windows on the third floor set in red gauged brick arches and stone cills. The first and second floors have similar windows with twelve panes. There are two segmental bay windows to the west of the entrance and one twelve-pane window to the east. Bands run between the floors. The entrance features a wooden Doric doorcase with an enriched triangular pediment, leading to an eight-panelled door. Stone steps with railings provide access to the forecourt and the basement.

Inside, the house boasts a very fine late 18th century chimney piece in the left-hand ground floor room, along with two good second floor doorcases and some original doors and panelling. An early 19th century staircase features canted and free-flying flights that rise to the attic floor.
