Linsley House And Clarendon House

Linsley House and Clarendon House are two terrace houses that were originally one building, dating from the mid-18th century and extended around 1860. They are constructed of coursed lias stonework, with later additions in ashlar, and feature a slate roof. The buildings have a double depth square plan, with a full-height extension at the center of the south side.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a basement. Linsley House has one bay with plain sash windows, except for the basement which has a twelve-pane window, and a panelled door located far to the right. Decorative features include a frieze, moulded cornice, blocking course, and a parapet. The right return has plain sash windows, with one bay to the left and two to the right of the projecting extension. The ground floor features arched glazed openings with broad piers that have Ruskinesque carved capitals. Above the ground floor, there are string courses and a broad skirt, with a lintel, frieze, and cornice above the first floor, and a cornice and blocking course at the flat top. The rear of Linsley House has squared stonework with dressed quoin and plain sash windows at three levels.

Clarendon House has three windows, featuring small plain sash windows in splayed surrounds above larger plain sash windows with moulded architraves and cornices, including a pediment over the center window. The ground floor has paired sashes on either side of a six-panel door set in a pilaster porch, which has a fanlight above the porch roof and is accessed by a flight of eight steps. To the left, there is a French casement window leading to the basement. Like Linsley House, Clarendon House also has a frieze, moulded cornice, blocking course, and parapet. The rear of Clarendon House, which is slightly angled from Linsley House, is made of ashlar and features a plain sash window above paired twelve-pane windows at the first floor, with a flush stone mullion. This side has coped gables and large chimney stacks, along with a small two-storey flat-roofed extension to the right.

The interiors have not been inspected. Access to these properties is via a narrow lane on the west side, which also serves Prospect Place.
