Description
St Mary's House is a building that dates from the early 19th century and is currently used as offices and a shop. It is constructed of yellow stock brick with a rendered ground floor and has a plain tiled roof. The house has three storeys, featuring a tall piano nobile on the first floor and attics above, which are fitted with two flat-roofed dormers. There are end stacks on the building.
The eaves are adorned with an ornamental scalloped valence above two tripartite sash windows on the second floor. Additionally, there are ornamental blind boxes above the windows and wirework railings across the front, which include intersecting tracery. On the first floor, there are two very tall tripartite glazing-bar sash windows, also with similar railings, scalloped decoration in the blind boxes, and label mouldings above. The ground floor features a 16-pane cambered-head glazing-bar sash window on the left, with paired 12-pane glazing-bar sash windows under a common cambered relieving head to the right. In the centre of the ground floor, there is a three-quarter glazed door with margin glazing-bars, set in a moulded wood surround.
To the left, there is a single bay extension that is set back, and at the rear, there is a lower hip-roofed tile-hung wing that is at right angles to the main building, which has glazing-bar sash windows and a side stack.
