Description

39 London Street is a house dating from around 1805 to 1810, which was restored between 1989 and 1990. It is built of red brick and has a slate roof. The house is two storeys high with a dormer attic and features a three-window range, with each window bay recessed. The entrance has a late 20th-century six-panel door beneath an overlight with glazing bars, and there is a porch supported by two unfluted columns. The windows are six-over-six unhorned sashes, with hoods over those on the ground floor. The gabled roof includes two gabled 20th-century dormers fitted with two-light casements. There are internal gable-end stacks at both the north and south ends of the house. Additionally, there are single-storey extensions on both sides, with the northern extension added in 1990 to match the existing southern one. Inside, there is a stick-baluster staircase featuring a ramped and wreathed handrail, along with decorative cornices and a chimneypiece in the staircase hall, also from 1990.
