Description
Delf House is a 17th-century house that was refronted in the early 19th century. It has two storeys and three windows, constructed of painted brick. The building features a cemented cornice and parapet, with intact glazing bars. On the ground floor, there is a three-light bay window. The doorway is adorned with fluted Doric columns, a blocked rectangular fanlight, and a six-panel fielded door. A stream known as the Delf runs between the house and the original railings to the street. Delf House is part of a group with Nos 17 to 21 (odd).
