Description

No. 8 Cheap Street is an early 19th-century remodelling of a mid-18th-century town house. The building has two storeys and dormers, featuring two windows. It has a hipped tiled roof with moulded brick stacks and is constructed of painted brick, with mid-18th-century brickwork on the north side. The eaves cornice is adorned with dentils. There are two hipped dormer casements with leaded lights, and the first floor has slightly recessed sash windows with sidelights and glazing bars, topped by gauged flat brick arches. The ground floor features three-light sash windows with glazing bars, covered by a continuous modern canopy. On the south side, there is a modern one-storey side entrance extension with a bracketed hood over the doorway. Inside, the house contains a good mid-18th-century staircase and panelling in the ground floor south room at the back.
