240, Sidegate Lane

This is a late 18th or early 19th century red brick building with a Victorian addition to the rear. The roof is tiled and hipped, featuring a central chimney stack. The building incorporates the structure of an earlier house, likely dating from the 17th century, although most of the timber framing is now concealed. The front facade has two storeys and a three-window arrangement of double-hung sash windows with glazing bars; the central window is blocked. A central six-panel door is sheltered by a porch with plain columns and a cornice hood. The building was once the home of Nat Ablitt (1784-1865), a local eccentric.
