Description

This building, located at 136 Kensington Church Street, is a house constructed between 1736 and 1737, with alterations made in the late 18th century or early 19th century and further changes thereafter.

It is built from painted, likely buff-brown brick, and features a tall mansard roof. The house has three storeys, a basement, and an attic within the mansard. The front elevation consists of two bays, with the entrance positioned to the left.

The entrance is covered by a mid-19th century canopy supported by scrolled brackets and includes a plain overlight. On the ground floor, there is a single tripartite window with a cambered arched head. The first floor has a pair of tall, narrow windows with late 19th or 20th century casements that interrupt the storey band. Above these, the second floor features a pair of six-over-six pane sash windows beneath slightly cambered arches. In the mansard roof, there are also a pair of six-over-six pane flat roofed full dormer windows. An internal brick stack is located to the right of the building.
