Description

The building consists of steps and handrails attached to Number 100, a house dating from the late 18th century. It has been altered and restored in the 20th century in a style reminiscent of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The house is timber-framed, plastered, and weatherboarded, with a roof made of both handmade and machine-made red clay tiles.

The main range faces southeast and features an internal stack on the right side. It is two storeys high with attics and has a two-storey wing at the rear left, along with a stair tower at the rear centre. The main range has been extended by about one metre to connect with the adjacent building, Number 98.

On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century bow windows with 15 lights each, featuring dentilled cornices in an early 19th-century style, supported by steel brackets. Additionally, there is a 20th-century oval window to the right, near the return of the original building. The first floor has three 20th-century sash windows with 6+6 lights in a late 18th-century style, along with a similar oval window to the right.

The near-central 20th-century door has six fielded and enriched panels with a fanlight, set within a 20th-century doorcase that includes fluted Ionic columns and a moulded and dentilled open pediment, all in a late 18th-century style. The entrance features two stone steps and two splayed wrought-iron handrails, each with an end scroll and mounted on two iron stanchions. The main roof is hipped and has a modillioned eaves cornice.

The front elevation is plastered, while the rear is weatherboarded and painted. The rear elevation of the main range includes a tripartite sash window on the ground floor and a 20th-century sash window with 6+6 lights on the first floor, along with a similar oval window. There is also a 20th-century casement window in a flat-roofed dormer. The stair tower features a similar oval window at attic level, and the rear wing has 20th-century casement windows. Although the front has been reconstructed in the 20th century, the building is included for its group value.
