Gascoyne House

Gascoyne House is a pair of houses with shops, dating from around 1789, with 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with slate roofs.

The building is divided into two sections. The left-hand section has a broad frontage and consists of five bays, while the right-hand section is lower and narrower, mirroring the appearance of Broadleys Vaults. The left-hand section is three storeys high with a basement and five windows, featuring sixteen-pane sashes in plain reveals. The ground floor has two doors centrally; the right-hand door has deep reveals, pilasters, and an entablature, accessed by three high steps with vented cast iron risers. To the left is a wide opening with 20th-century doors and a flat hood. A mid-to-late 19th-century three-pane display window sits to the right, alongside a plain sash window. Basement lights have pavement grilles and decorative heads. A platband sits above the ground floor, a moulded band above the first floor, and a main cornice with a blocking course and parapet run across the full width. Circular vents with conical caps are visible behind the parapet, appearing higher than those on adjacent buildings.

The right-hand section has a three-storey, attic, and basement, with a slate and Roman tile mansard roof. It features two two-light casement dormers and plain sashes on the second floor, with a central single window flanked by tripartite units (the outer lights are blind). The first floor mirrors this arrangement under wide, shallow-moulded pediments. The ground floor features four large plain sashes above pavement grilles. A plain sash window sits above a wide door on the corner splay. The return side, facing Trim Bridge, has paired sash windows on the ground floor. A small plinth, sill bands, and a frieze with cornice, blocking course and parapet run the full width of the building, the splay, and the return. Inscribed parish markers, S P P P and S M P, are visible on the splay. A small stack is located at the rear of the property.

The interior has not been inspected. The left-hand section appears to be a rebuilding or a refacing of an earlier structure, as this range of buildings was formerly a continuous terrace, with the centre section raised and refaced.
