Description

The Mews House, originally a stable and coach house for Northgate House, dates from the 18th century and has been converted into a dwelling. It features a red brick front, while the long rear wing is constructed with a mix of random stone blocks. The building has a fully hipped plantiled roof and stands back from the street within a former stable yard enclosed by walls.

The exterior is two storeys high and has four windows on the upper storey, all of which are 2-light small-paned casements from the 20th century. The ground storey includes two pairs of double doors and a wide 20th-century entrance door set within a hipped plantiled porch. High ramped walls at each end of the front extend across the street frontage, constructed from a combination of Tudor and later brick along with random stone blocks, topped with stone copings.

The walls along the street are faced with red brick laid in English Bond, and the wide entrance is flanked by square red brick gate piers with stone dressings. The interior has not been inspected.
