Description

House, early 18th century. Stock brown brick with red brick dressings and quoins, stuccoed basement. Two storeys, attic and basement, with the parapet and upper facade largely rebuilt above the first-floor sill band; high-pitched tiled roof with three flat dormers. Rectangular double-depth and five-bay plan. Gauged flat brick arches to sash windows with glazing bars in flush moulded frames. Door of six flat panels with patterned semi-circular fanlight (brought in) in wood doorcase with attached Doric columns, entablature and open pediment.

Rear facade also five bays with three-bay attics; the first floor has glazing bar sashes under flat gauged arches and blind boxes, the ground floor stuccoed with a projecting three-light bay including door.

Interior: Staircase to the right of the entrance with early 19th-century stick baluster stair under an elaborate 18th-century plaster ceiling of fruit, set in a surround of bulb decoration with cartouches and anthemion frieze cornice (early 19th century). Two massive cornice brackets. Other rooms have box cornices and early 19th-century fireplaces. Kitchen extended into 19th-century bay. Attic with plank door and panelling inscribed 1783.

To the north, a one-bay service range projects also one bay into the forecourt. Of similar date, brown brick with glazing bar sashes in flush moulded frames under curved gauged heads. Blind end windows to the street. Door of six beaded panels under rectangular toplight under slightly pedimented bracketed hood. Five storeys staggered on half landings around an early 18th-century turned baluster stair that rises from ground to attic. Simple wooden panelling on stairs and in basement hall. Ground-floor doctors' dispensary, indicative of the many years this house was in medical use.

An 18th-century low stone-coped brick wall supports wrought iron railings with spearhead standards. Simple wrought-iron gate with circular motif has an overthrow with lampholder.
