Description
This is an early 19th-century house with a core dating back to the 16th century and 18th-century additions, now used as a dental practice. The exterior is constructed of white brick with a slate roof, featuring a modillion eaves soffit and bedmould. The property is three storeys high with a cellar and has a three-window front, arranged 1:1:1, with the central section slightly projecting. The ground-floor windows are 12-pane sashes with a single vertical glazing bar, set in plain reveals with gauged brick arches. Smaller, six-pane sashes are located on the top floor. A raised stucco band runs along the sill level of the first floor. The central entrance has a six-panel door, raised three steps and featuring a cast-iron handrail, a rectangular fanlight, and a wooden Greek Doric doorcase with fluted pilasters and a cornice incorporating a triglyph frieze.
The rear of the building is complex, featuring two large extensions. One is an 18th-century extension of two storeys and an attic, with a mansard roof, two 12-pane sashes in heavy flush cased frames, and a larger stair window with a lunette above. A shallower, early 19th-century gabled wing is constructed from random flint and red brick, incorporating a brick band and dressings. Originally, it had a three-window arrangement per storey, with a wide 16-pane sash in the centre and two 12-pane outer sashes; however, one upper window is now blank, and the corresponding lower window is covered by a later single-storey addition constructed from similar materials.
The interior suggests that the 19th-century alterations combined two houses into one. The cellar beneath the eastern half of the house features a stone doorway with a rebated segmental arch, resembling the style found at the adjacent No. 12. The cellar ceiling has a massive main beam and joists. In the western half, original timbers are concealed, with only 18th- and early 19th-century features visible, except for a large 16th-century fireplace in the former kitchen, which has moulded stone jambs and a shallow Tudor arch. A fine 18th-century chimney-piece with foliated stucco decoration exists in one ground-floor room. The early 19th-century staircase in the mansard-roofed wing is characterized by bracketed strings, stick balusters, and a fine inlaid wreathed handrail. Various rooms have plaster cornices, and the entrance hall walls have a dado with raised fielded panels.
