Description
Sole Place is a house built in 1702, featuring red and blue chequered brick and a plain tile roof. It stands two storeys tall on a plinth, with a coved wooden eaves cornice beneath a parapet gabled roof that includes two hipped dormers and end stacks on both sides. The building has a regular arrangement of windows, with three wooden casements on the first floor; the outer two have gauged heads, while the central one features a rubbed brick head. On the ground floor, there are two casements with gauged heads and a cornice above. The central entrance consists of a 20th-century panelled and glazed door topped with a flat hood. Flanking the first-floor windows are identical aedicules on scrolls, supported by Doric pillars and topped with open scrolled pediments that frame urns. The left aedicule is inscribed with "S S T M 1702," and the right with "C S M 1702." The end stacks also display sunken panels on either return front.
