114 AND 116, WEST STREET

This is a late 18th-century house, extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with some areas painted and others plastered. The roof is tiled with handmade red tiles. The main range faces south, featuring a chimney stack at the left end and a 19th-century external stack at the right end. A short parallel range extends to the rear right, with an internal chimney stack at the junction. A rear wing is beyond this, with a further internal chimney stack at its end. A 19th-century catslide roof extension sits to the rear left of the rear range, alongside a small, single-storey lean-to extension with a slate roof. A 20th-century single-storey extension with a flat roof is also situated behind the rear range. A single-storey lean-to extension is present to the right of the main range and rear range, and a 20th-century garage block is located at the end of the rear range, also with a slate roof.

The house has two storeys and attics, with a six-window front. The windows are 18th-century sash windows with 12 lights each, featuring shallow segmental arches constructed with gauged brick and some crown glass. There is a blank aperture above the central door. The front door is fielded with six panels, surmounted by a fanlight with radial tracery. A plastered pediment sits above the door on consoles, incorporating projecting false keystones. There are three stone steps with iron bootscrapers at the top of each side leading to the door. A plain band runs along the first-floor level, and a plastered moulded eaves cornice finishes the building. Iron railings run along the front, returning to the house at the left end and each side of the door. These consist of 18 cast iron stanchions, three iron rails, and a chain linking the tops, standing approximately one metre high. The main roof and that of the rear range are hipped at the right end only.

The left return features two late 19th-century sash windows with semi-circular heads in the attic gable. A rear corner pilaster is also present on this side, along with a painted section and other pilasters largely obscured by the catslide extension, which is plastered. A single early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights and crown glass is set into the first floor of this catslide extension. A 19th-century horizontal sash window with 12+12 lights sits within a slated dormer at the rear of the main range. The left side of the rear wing has an early 19th-century sash window with 4+8 lights on the first floor; the ground floor is of red brick, the first floor plastered. Another early 19th-century sash window, also with 16 lights, has been re-set into the flat-roofed extension. A loading door is situated at the rear end of the rear wing. The right returns of the main range and rear ranges are plastered.
