Description
Hurst House and Connaught Cars is a house that has been converted into part office space. It dates from the early to mid-18th century and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brown brick, which is rendered and colorwashed below the cornice and parapet. The roofs are plain tiled and largely obscured.
The structure has two storeys, featuring a brick cornice and coping at the parapet. There is a ridge stack located to the right of the center. The facade has six windowed bays; on the first floor, there are four sash windows to the left and center, although the lower panes have been removed. To the right on the first floor, there are two 19th-century glazing bar sash windows, with three ground floor windows below them.
On the left side of the ground floor, there is a panelled door set within a late 18th-century ribbed and reeded surround, which includes paterae in the top corners and a shallow hood over an entablature. Additionally, there is a depressed keystone arch leading to a carriage entrance on the right-hand ground floor bays.
