Description
This is an early 19th-century former house, now offices, with possible origins in an earlier period. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with a front facade of red Flemish bond brickwork. It has a gabled roof covered in plain tiles, along with two slate-roofed lean-to extensions at the rear. The building is two storeys high with attics and cellars. It features an off-centre ridge line stack and dentilled brick eaves.
The front elevation has three nine-pane double-hung sash windows on the first floor, slightly recessed and set within broad frames with rubbed brick flat arches. The ground floor has two similar windows, each with twelve panes, and a door with a rectangular fanlight and a moulded architrave. The door itself has six raised and fielded panels, approached by two cement steps. A basement light is visible, featuring a brick arch and an iron grille. The rear elevation includes a two-storey and a single-storey slate-roofed lean-to extension, as well as a gabled dormer. The windows are largely 20th century replacements, although one original six-pane casement window remains on the first floor of the original rear wall.
The interior has been largely modernised, but retains an early 19th-century fire surround on the first floor, a straight door within a curved architrave, and some early 19th-century panelled doors. The building was once connected to number 76A, and some exposed internal timber framing likely belongs to that structure.
