Russell House And Forecourt Wall

Russell House is an early 19th-century house with a forecourt wall. It is constructed of brown brick with red brick to the side elevations, topped with a slate roof. The house is three storeys high with a basement, and features modillion eaves and a parapet with stacks positioned to the left and right. The windows are arranged regularly, with 3 glazing bar sashes on the second and first floors, and 2 on the ground and basement floors. All windows have gauged red brick heads. The central entrance features a panelled door with a traceried semi-circular fanlight within a double rebated surround, itself with a keyed and gauged head and a ramped iron rail leading to the steps. A later, 19th-century red brick and tile-hung range extends to the rear.

Attached to the house on the left, and returning along the road front, is a forecourt wall approximately 6 feet high. The wall sweeps down to a low base intended for wooden railings and has a central wrought iron gate between piers topped with ball finials. The gate consists of a single leaf with a scrolled midrail and a central enriched panel. The wall runs for approximately 20 yards along the road, with corner piers at each end.
