Description
Number 67 is a detached house built between 1856 and 1861, likely designed by Charles Hambridge and developed by Henry Rydon. The house is constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond, with red brick, stucco, and stone dressings, and features a roof made of Welsh slate. It stands three storeys high over a basement and has a three-window range.
There are steps leading up to a porch located in a single-storey wing set back to the left. The porch has a stilted, pointed-segmental arch with a foliage impost band and a chamfered arch, likely made of stone, topped with a gauged brick head. The porch parapet has been renewed. The main front includes a two-storey bay with two linked ground-floor windows that have stilted, segmental-pointed arches, probably of stone, a foliage impost band, and a shared balcony with window guards. The first floor has three linked windows with pointed arches, flanked by pilasters and engaged columns featuring foliage capitals. These columns support elaborate hollow-moulded stucco archivolts beneath heads made of alternating red and yellow brick. A cornice band runs along the coped parapet of the bay.
On the second floor, the windows are deeply set under shouldered stone arches, which are topped by a pointed arch made of red and yellow brick with carved detailing in the tympanum and foliage impost bands. The windows are situated beneath two shallow gables, while the rest of the house has boxed eaves with hipped roofs and side stacks.
The property also features two pairs of stuccoed and panelled gate piers with cornices, along with a balustraded wall between them. The inner right-hand pier is truncated.
