12, Larkhall Place

12 Larkhall Place is an early 19th-century house, originally intended to be the terminal property of a terrace. It is attached to number 13 Larkhall Place (which is not part of this listing). A wall with a toothed edge is present on the left side of the porch. The house is constructed of limestone ashlar, painted on the front, with a single-pitched slate roof and moulded stacks to the left gable ends. It features coped parapets and cornices to both the front and rear. The plan is double-depth.

The external appearance is of a three-storey, two-window front facing the street, with a single window facing the garden. The street front has a six/six-pane sash window on the second floor to the right and margin-paned French windows on the first floor. A lower porch with a coped parapet has an eight/eight-pane sash window on the second floor, a six/six-pane sash in a semicircular arched recess on the first floor, and a flush six-panel door with overlight. The porch’s front wall extends across the right-hand range of the building on the ground floor, incorporating a narrow semicircular recess above a six/six-pane sash window. The garden front has a tripartite window on the second floor; the originally six/six-pane central sash now has a plate glass lower sash and a sun hood above. A fine trellised balcony with a swept hipped canopy sits beneath French windows on the first floor. A ground-floor eight/eight-pane sash window has a six-panel door and overlight to its right. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
