22 Bellevue Road and railed area

A terraced town-house of around 1830.

MATERIALS and PLAN: stock brick in Flemish bond. Formed of three storeys, above a lit basement, which has its own entrance from the street.

EXTERIOR: the road front, facing east, is formed of two bays and is Georgian in style. On the ground floor, the main entrance is to the south-side and at the head of a flight of three stone steps. It has a six-panelled door with a rounded fanlight above, which has later-C20 glass. The door case has fluted quarter-columns, supporting an architrave with a dentil moulding. To the north-side there is a bow window, which projects in front of the line of the basement wall, with three, curved-sashes of six-over-six panes, delineated by Ionic pilasters. The basement window is recessed below the bow, and has a sash window of six-over-six panes. The basement is accessed by stone steps from the street level. The first floor has a pair of French windows which are multi-paned, and have margin glazing. They front on to a balcony with simple rails of C20 date. The outline of the balcony canopy which was formerly attached to the front can be seen, with its ramped profile. The third floor has two sash windows with six-over-six panes. The upper-floor windows all have flat, gauged-brick headers. There is a stone parapet, and the roof is hidden behind.

INTERIOR: not inspected.

SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: there are metal railings with simple rails and four baluster finials, which stretch from the main entrance (via three stone steps) to the top of the basement stair (via a rail-gate).
