Description

59 and attached railings is a terraced house dating from the early 18th century. It features multicoloured brick with red brick dressings and a roof made of Welsh slate. The building has four storeys over a basement and a three-window range. The basement is rendered. The entrance, located in the right-hand bay, has a flat arch and is adorned with fluted pilasters, elaborately carved brackets, a panelled frieze, and a flat hood with a panelled soffit, cornice, and overlight. The ground and first-floor windows have flat arches made of gauged red brick and red brick dressings on the sides; the frames are set almost flush with the wall, with the first-floor windows being replacements. The ground floor features 6/6 sashes of the original design. A brick storey band runs along the building. The second-floor windows also have flat arches with replacement heads and red brick dressings; their frames are set almost flush with the wall, and they include 6/6 sashes of the original design. The parapet has been rebuilt, and there are two dormers in the mansard roof. The area railings are topped with urn and palmette finials.

Inside, the entrance hall is panelled and features a plaster cornice and fluted pilasters that lead to the staircase hall. The staircase has an open string from the ground floor, turned newels, and column-on-vase balusters extending to the third floor, with turned balusters above and much-altered panelling. The front and back rooms on the ground floor have been combined into one space; some panelling and a plaster cornice survive on the north wall, though altered. The back room has a corner fireplace with a late 18th century or early 19th century cast-iron grate, and there is a closet with panelling, a plaster cornice, and another corner fireplace with a late 18th century or early 19th century cast-iron grate. On the second floor, the front and back rooms retain panelling and a plaster cornice, with 19th-century alterations. The front room has a late 18th century or early 19th century cast-iron grate, while the back room features a corner fireplace and a panelled closet.
