Description
Percy House is a late 18th-century house that is part of an irregular terrace. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a double pitched slate mansard roof with large moulded stacks without chimney pots on the left gable end. The building has a double depth plan with a rear left wing.
The exterior stands three storeys tall, with an attic and basement, and has a three-window range. A parapet sits above a returned modillion cornice and frieze, with a ground floor platband. The upper floor windows have moulded architraves, and the outer windows on the first floor are adorned with cornices that flank a central pedimented window. The late 19th-century two-over-two pane sash windows lack horns, and the ground floor left window features a wrought iron balconette with lead ornaments.
A notable feature is the prostyle pedimented porch, which has a dentil cornice and a glyph frieze with paterae at the ends and centre. The porch is supported by Tuscan pillars that also have glyph friezes, and it includes a six-panel door with raised and fielded upper panels. The area railings are made of late 19th-century wrought iron with a scroll pattern. The interior has not been inspected.
