Joceline House

Joceline House comprises a pair of houses, originally built in the mid to late 18th century, with additions from the 19th century and a 20th-century attic. The houses are now shops and are constructed of limestone ashlar with a flat roof. The exterior features three storeys and attic, with seven windows; these are twelve-pane sash windows set within splayed surrounds and moulded architraves on the first floor. The ground floor incorporates late 19th-century shopfronts with transom lights and a recessed door to number 37. The facade includes channelled ground floor pilasters and a central section, a stone cornice, and a central six-panel door with a deep transom light and a large keystone. A thin platband runs above the first floor, topped by a modillion cornice and a pulvinated frieze. The attic is set back from the parapet and has a slab roof. Evidence of shrapnel damage is visible in the masonry. The rear elevation is of rubble construction and contains some well-preserved early glazing-bar sash windows. The interior of the building has not been inspected. Joceline House continues the line of the north side of Kingsmead Square and represents the last remaining section of a terrace largely destroyed by bombing in 1942.
