Description

No. 10 is a house dating to approximately 1765-1775, developed by Thomas Omer. It is constructed of limestone ashlar to the front, painted on the ground floor, with rubble to the basement and ashlar to the right side. The roof is a mansard design, hipped to the right, with double Roman tiles to the upper slopes, Welsh slate to the lower, and ashlar stacks. One stack is shared with No.9 Vineyards and another with No.10A Vineyards. The house has elevations facing Vineyards to the front and Chapel Court to the right, and is enclosed on the left side and rear by other buildings.

The three-storey, attic, and basement house features a two-window front. The first floor has two plate glass sash windows with horns in plain reveals, splayed stone jambs, lowered stone sills, and wrought iron balconettes. The second floor mirrors this with similar sash windows. The ground floor has two similar windows to the left, with the right window leading into a single-storey lean-to hall. A six-panel, ovolo moulded door is set within a stone porch with reeded jambs and a moulded hood. The basement has a 20th-century window. Architectural details include a band course over the ground floor, a moulded eaves cornice, and a coped parapet extended to the right side. The right side of the building has plate glass sash windows and blind windows, along with a lead hopperhead and a partial lead downpipe. The interior was not inspected.

Attached wrought iron railings feature shaped heads with a bottom rail set on buns. Historically, the land was formerly the property of the Hayne family from 1638, passing through inheritance. In 1756, plans to sell Vineyards to Thomas Omer for building were advanced, finally realised in 1765. The Vineyards were used as a vineyard until approximately 1730 when springs began to fail. The row north of the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel was originally named Harlequin Row due to the unusual use of brick and stone in its construction.
