Description
6A Honey Hill is a house that has been converted into offices, built in the early 19th century for Thomas de Carle, a stonemason. The exterior features a mix of red brick and stone blocks, with a rendered front on Honey Hill and a fully hipped slate roof. The building is two storeys tall.
On the upper level, there are two windows that were previously blocked but have been replaced with 20th-century sashes that lack glazing bars. The ground floor has a three-light sash window with diminished side-lights and a single vertical glazing bar. A raised stucco band runs between the storeys. The entrance features a six-panel door with sunk panels set in a plain heavy wood doorcase and architrave.
The return wall facing Sparhawk Street is divided into three sections by straight joints and stone quoining, indicating that the building was developed in stages. The stone used may include some reused Abbey stone, but much likely originated from the nearby stonemason's yard. The wall has a four-window range with small-paned 20th-century casements, featuring four-light windows on the outer sides and two-light windows on the inner sides. Additionally, there is a tripartite sash window on the ground floor with a single vertical glazing bar and another six-panel door at the south end in a plain wood doorcase. The interior has not been inspected.
