Description

No. 55 is a terrace house located on the west side of Waterloo in Ramsgate, built in the 1820s. It is constructed of stock brick and features a slate roof. The building has three storeys and a basement, topped with a parapet and a stack situated to the right. On the second floor, there are two glazing bar sashes, while the first floor has a two-storey canted bay with French doors leading to a simple railed balcony. The ground floor includes sashes with moulded architraves and a sash window in the basement. To the left, there is a half-glazed door with a semi-circular fanlight set in a keyed surround. The steps are adorned with simple rails, and the basement area is enclosed with spear-headed rails that have spike finialed principals.
