Description
Last Temple House is a terrace house with a shop, dating from approximately 1676. It was likely rebuilt in the early 18th century and refaced with stock brick in the late 18th or early 19th century as part of the Barbon development. The house is four storeys high and has a two-window front, plus a half-window. The ground floor features a house doorway on the left, with reeded jambs, a panelled door, and a patterned fanlight. To the right is an early 19th-century shop front with a large-pane window and a panelled, glazed shop door, all under an entablature. The first and second floors have flush-framed sash windows set within flat red brick arches with spaced stone voussoirs. The third floor has a broad glazing bar casement window under a flat, gauged arch. Stone plat bands define the first and second floors. The roofline is finished with a parapet and coping. Inside, the house retains original features including a staircase with a closed moulded string and turned balusters, and a bolection panelled front room on the first floor.
