Bath House

A pair of houses, dating from the mid-19th century, which were later converted into a single dwelling. The front is limestone ashlar, with brick facing on the sides, and has a slate roof with gabled ends, along with brick gable-end stacks. The layout is of a double-depth pair of houses, with an entrance on the left of each front room, and they were converted into one house in 1970-71. The front has two and three storeys, and five bays in total. Rusticated quoins and a string course are visible at the level of the first-floor window sills. The left house has two storeys and two bays, featuring two-light sash windows. The ground floor windows have a cornice supported by carved console brackets, while the first-floor windows are topped with hood moulds. A doorway on the left has been blocked, with a small window positioned above. The right house is three storeys high and has two bays, with sash windows. The ground floor windows have a carved frieze of fruit and a hood mould with dogtooth ornament and headstops. An oriel window above is supported by carved busts and features a frieze depicting a cornucopia and mask. The first-floor window on the left is smaller and round-headed, with carved drops on the pilasters and a small cusped lancet window above. The doorway on the left has a frieze with festoons and a mask, and a cornice on consoles with carved drops, now featuring a 20th-century door. The rear elevation is also ashlar, but less ornate, with the head of a large Geometric traceried window on the ground floor and a small cusped lancet above. Inside, there is a stone staircase with carved corbels supporting the arch at the foot of the stairs. Originally a pair of houses, they were constructed on the site of a stonemason's workshop, belonging to Mr Ellery. The elaborate stone carving on the front of the building was designed to showcase his skills as a stonemason.
