Description
No. 20 is a coach house and stables that has been converted into a house, dating from around 1800, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and has a slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan with a re-fronted forward wing on the left side.
The exterior features two storeys. The left forward wing has a coped pedimented gable end with a moulded impost string supported by paired consoles at the eaves and single consoles flanking a segmental arched window, which has a large moulded keystone above a 20th-century horned six-over-six pane sash window with radial glazing bars at the top. There is a wide nine-panel door, glazed at the top, with moulded consoles on pilasters supporting a cornice. The right return of the wing has semicircular arched recesses above a 20th-century window on the left and a 20th-century door on the right.
The set-back block facing the road has a hipped roof to the right and a central ridge stack. There are two six-over-six pane sash windows at the eaves level on the first floor. A timber bressummer is above an early 19th-century shop window consisting of four rows of seven panes with pintles for former shutters, and a 20th-century half-glazed door with a two-paned overlight to the right. A swept canopy over the shopfront obscures much of the bressummer.
The symmetrical garden front, dating from 1840-1850, features a stone bracketed eaves cornice, a moulded archivolt, and a large keystone above a large semicircular arch with a blind stone centre and radial stone bars around the margin. The outer ranges have flat arched recesses for the windows, flanked by plain pilasters. On the first floor, there is a two-light casement window on the left and a plate glass sash window over a segmental arched door on the right. The ground floor on the left has a 20th-century lean-to.
The property also includes two gatepiers at each corner, which have similar consoles to those on the main block, cornices, and blocking courses. These support late 19th-century double gates and are flanked by ashlar walls approximately 2 meters high. The wall on the left is just wide enough to accommodate a 20th-century planked door attached to the right-hand corner of the forward wing, while the wall on the right extends for approximately 3 meters.
