Description

Humber House is a house dating to the 17th century with additions from the 19th century. It is constructed of squared coursed ironstone with a hipped roof of Welsh slate. There are four brick stacks, located at the ends, along the ridge, and laterally. The garden front has a two-unit plan and two storeys, with a three-window range. The central entrance has been remodelled to create a third window on the ground floor and is flanked by sash windows with keystoned architraves. There are two sash windows to the first floor. The elevation facing Humber Street is a three-unit plan with two storeys and an attic, and also has a three-window range. The entrance on the right has a panelled door with a moulded wooden surround and wooden lintel. To the left of the door are three two- and three-light casements. The first floor has three two- and three-light casements with wooden lintels. There are two blocked attic windows. Most windows feature wrought iron catches. A stone coping is present on the left side. Two fire plaques are also visible. The rear of the property includes a 17th-century wing on the right side, incorporating a three- and two-light casement with a wooden lintel, and an attic window with some panes of crown glass. The interior of the 17th-century part includes stop-chamfered beams and bressumers, stone flag floors, a wooden winder stair and a straight flight of stairs with winders, and panelled doors.
