12, Upper Strand Street

This is a late 18th-century building of three storeys, situated on Upper Strand Street. The front is constructed of brown brick on a flint base, with red brick relieving arches. The east wall is of stone rubble. A string course runs above the second floor, and the building is topped with a parapet. The front roof is tiled, while the rear wing has a slate roof. There are three windows facing the street. The doorway is distinguished by a fine casing, featuring fluted pilasters, a pediment, a moulded frieze, a rectangular fanlight, and a six-panel fielded door. Four steps lead up to the doorway, with a handrail. The rear wing is a lower extension set at right angles to the main front. It includes three brick arches on the ground floor, the central one containing a doorway with pilasters, a projecting cornice, a blocked rectangular fanlight, and a six-panel fielded door. The building forms a group with numbers 2 to 12 (even) on Upper Strand Street and numbers 11 to 19 (odd) on High Street.
