8 Anglesea Street

Early-C19 semi-detatched villa.

MATERIALS: rendered brick with rusticated quoins and a slate roof. The small front garden to Anglesea Street is bounded by a brick dwarf wall topped with painted stone coping and decorative metal railings.

PLAN: the house is two-bays wide and historically had a square footprint. It was extended to the rear, including a small extension to the south-west, in the latter half of the C20.

EXTERIOR: stuccoed villa of two storeys. The front elevation facing Anglesea Street, features three, recessed, six-over-six sash windows (two on the ground floor and one on western side of the first floor) with plain window surrounds, possibly stone. On the western side of the first floor is a canted, threesided, sash oriel window. The two side panels have four-over-four sashes and the central pane has an eight-over-eight sash. The sashes are separated by fluted Doric pilasters and topped with a frieze and cornice, all in timber. Below the sashes is an apron with plinth. The front door is recessed and consists of four panels, two of them glazed, with plain pilaster strips topped by a frieze and cornice. Below the frieze the doorway is encased by a modern porch. The building has a pitched roof with gable ends to the east and west with chimneys at either end. The rear (southern) part of the building features two secondary gables with ends that face south. The later, additional rear extensions appear to have flat roofs.
