21, College Street

21 College Street is a house that dates from the early to mid-19th century and was formerly part of The Beehive Public House. It is built of painted brick and features a shallow-pitched slate roof with wide eaves overhang. The building has two storeys and a cellar, with an attic in part of the structure.

On the exterior, there are two 16-pane sash windows on the upper storey with plain reveals and projecting stone sills. The ground storey has a similar window with slatted external shutters. The entrance features a slightly recessed six-panelled door with raised fielded panels and a fanlight, all set within a plain semicircular-arched brick surround.

To the south, there is a smaller two-storey section that is part of the adjoining terrace, which includes a 16-pane sash window on the upper storey and a doorway with a semicircular-headed brick surround, leading to a passageway. This passageway has a similar doorway at the rear and likely once provided access to the public house and stabling in the yard. The rear wall has two 16-pane sash windows on the upper storey.

A late 19th-century two-storey extension on the south side is rendered, with a slate roof and an end chimney-stack. Adjacent to it is a single-storey former stable range made of brick and kidney flint, which is weatherboarded along the front.

Inside, the cellar beneath the front of the building has flint-rendered front and side walls, with a fireplace featuring a segmental-arched brick surround on the east wall. The floor is made of small square tiles or setts. The cellar was extended beneath the rear of the building, likely due to its use as a public house, and a later fireplace backs against the original one. There are no pre-19th-century features within the house. A fireplace surround in the rear ground storey room has half-round fluted columns and a metope frieze. French doors have internal shutters with sunk panels, and the staircase features stick balusters and a wreathed handrail.
