Description
No. 28 is a house that has been converted into flats, built around 1760 to 1770 and raised in the 19th century, with restoration completed in 1994. The front is made of limestone ashlar, while the rear features a mix of ashlar and rubble. It has a double pile parapeted roof, which is not visible, with coped party walls on both sides. The left side has two ashlar stacks with some early clay pots at the front.
The building has four storeys and a basement, with a two-window front. The first floor features a plate glass horned sash window on the left and a six-over-six sash window on the right, both set in splayed reveals with wrought iron balconettes. The second floor has a two-over-two sash window on the left and a six-over-six sash window on the right, also in splayed reveals with stone sills. The third floor includes a two-light timber casement window on the left and a six-over-six sash window on the right, again in splayed reveals with stone sills.
On the ground floor, there are two two-over-two horned sash windows on the left and a six-panel door on the right, featuring flush beaded fielded and glazed panels within a pedimented Doric porch. This porch is over a crossover with three Pennant steps and a 19th-century cast iron footscraper. The basement has a plate glass sash window in a plain reveal with a stone sill, and a plank door with an overlight beneath the crossover.
The building features a band course above the ground floor, a sill band at the first floor, and a bracketed former eaves cornice above the second floor. The eaves cornice and coped parapet continue with No. 29 Belvedere. The rear elevation has horned plate glass and glazing bar sashes and casements on the upper floors, with continuous wrought iron balconettes. There are four-over-four and six-over-six sashes in a Venetian window on the ground floor.
The interior has not been inspected, but there is a staircase at the front. The property also includes attached wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on painted limestone bases.
