3 Military Road, railings and gate

Early-C19 house.

MATERIALS: red brick, laid in Flemish bond, the basement painted; paint appears to have been removed from the ground floor. The house has a hipped tiled roof.

PLAN: the footprint of number 3 is rectangular, on an east/west alignment.

EXTERIOR: the house is of three storeys, above a basement, with a narrow east-facing street frontage. The doorway is in the southern part of the frontage, and has a reeded timber surround with paterae; the upper part of the doorcase is obscured by a later lead cover. The house has a single window to each storey, in the northern part of the frontage. The ground-floor window opening appears to have been widened, and contains horned sash frames. The narrower first-floor window opening has a gauged brick cambered arch; this opening also contains horned sash frames. The second-floor window opening shows some evidence of alteration, with a course of bricks on end making a flat arch, cutting into the cornice. The opening contains casement frames. The building has a brick dentil cornice. A sloping brick wall encloses the external stair to the basement. The basement is accessed by a narrow doorway, with a small window to the north.

INTERIOR: the interior was not inspected at the time of re-assessment (2020).

SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the house is separated from the road by iron railings with spear finials set on a dwarf wall; the railings of the gate have fleur-de-lys finials.
