Number 4 And Attached Railings

Number 4 is an early 19th-century house located on London Road in Maldon. It is constructed of red brick, with the front rendered and the rear wall in English bond. The house features a steep, hipped gambrel roof covered in plain tiles and has two brick stacks at the rear.

The building is two storeys tall, with an attic and cellar, and has a three-window range. At the rear, there is a long one-storey-and-attic outbuilding. The front of the house includes two dormers with 20th-century casement windows that have central horizontal glazing bars. A painted brick cornice with modillions runs along the top.

On the first floor, there are three sash windows, each with a single central vertical glazing bar. The ground floor has two similar windows and a central doorcase featuring a semicircular-headed reeded surround and a segmental fanlight. A 19th-century hood supported by consoles is above the door, which is accessed by three stone steps and has four raised-and-fielded panels over two moulded panels, with an old lock on the inside.

The rear wall has two large red-brick stacks, and the rear wing, located near the southeast, is made of red brick with some grey headers on the southeast side. This wing has 20th-century casements, one 16-pane sash window, and a square small-paned bay window on the southeast face. The roof of the rear wing is gabled and also covered in plain tiles.

Inside, the central entrance hall features dogleg stairs with turned balusters. The northwest front room has elliptical-headed niches on either side of a 19th-century fireplace. There is an internal window between the stairs and attic, which has six panes of leaded old glass. The rear wing includes a large 19th-century kitchen fireplace with a mantel shelf.

The property also has low iron spearheaded railings with end finials at each end of the front, along with handrails to the door that include boot scrapers. Additionally, there is a red-brick boundary wall attached to the southeast end.
