Description
This is a substantial house, likely dating to circa 1754, and probably designed by Thomas Jelly. It is now used as offices and includes 1, 2, and 3 Lilliput Court. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof.
The house has a double depth, central entry plan and extends over three storeys, with an attic and basement, and originally five windows wide. A projecting bay to the right was likely either a separate house originally or the result of a significant alteration of unknown date. The end quoins are rusticated and the projecting bay has quoins only to the ground floor. A platband runs along the first floor of the main five-bay front. The ground floor central doorway features Corinthian pilasters and a pediment, with a six-panel door. To the left are two late 18th-century six/six sash windows in plain architraves. To the right are two arched windows with rusticated Gibbs surrounds and six/six sashes. Wrought iron railings enclose the area. The basement has four windows, the originals being six/six sashes. The first-floor windows have alternately triangular pediments and straight cornices, with six/six sashes of a late 18th-century style. The second floor has six/six sashes in plain architraves. A dentil cornice supports a parapet, with ashlar stacks without pots. The projecting bay to the right has a pedimented ground floor window with an eight/eight sash. The first and second floors of the bay contain triple windows, with a four/four:four/four:six/six configuration, curving around the corner. Sill bands are present. The side and rear elevations are constructed of rubble with randomly arranged sash windows. The rear basement features three large semicircular headed openings. The interior remains uninspected.
Historical records indicate that the site was formerly a garden granted to William Galloway in 1750. Galloway, an apothecary, began building eight houses on the land he had held since 1738, with construction completed in 1753. The building was used as the North Parade Brewery in 1906.
