No.3 And Attached Railings And Vaults

No.3, together with its attached railings and vaults, is a house, now converted into flats, dating to around 1775, with 20th-century additions. It was likely designed by Thomas Warr Atwood, who certainly developed the site. The front of the house is constructed of limestone ashlar, painted at basement level, while the rear is not visible. It has a double-pile, parapeted mansard roof covered with Welsh slate to the front (the rear is not visible) and features two ashlar chimney stacks rising from a coped party wall on the left. A staircase is located at the front.

The house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-window front. The first floor features three nine/nine sash windows set within splayed, ovolo-moulded architraves, which rise from lowered stone sills, incorporating friezes and cornices. The second floor has three six/six sash windows with similar architraves and stone sills. The ground floor has two six/six, horned sash windows with splayed reveals and stone sills to the left, and a six-panel door with a flush beaded, fielded panel and single glazing, alongside a “doctor” knocker and a single pennant step within a stone doorcase featuring a cyma moulded architrave on a flat surround with moulded brackets to a moulded cornice. Two steps lead to a pennant-paved crossover with a wrought iron footscraper. The basement has two six/six sash windows with stone sills, a plank door with an eight-pane overlight in an ashlar infilling under the crossover, a window opening with wrought iron bars providing access to the vaults, and a wrought iron handrail to the 20th-century area steps. A double dormer features six/six sash windows. Architectural details include a band course above the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation is not visible.

The interior of the property has not been inspected. The house was developed on Council land by Thomas Warr Atwood, who secured it in 1773. The design is standard Palladian for the 1770s and strongly suggests Atwood's involvement, although other architects, such as John Wood the Younger or Thomas Jelly, cannot be ruled out. It is considered an excellent example of the English Palladian tradition and street architecture.

Attached to the house are wrought iron railings and a gate, with shaped heads on limestone bases.
