Apthorpe

Apthorpe is a mid-19th century house that is now used for commercial purposes. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a hipped slate roof with wide stone-bracketed eaves and moulded stacks on the returns. The building stands three storeys high, including an attic, and has a symmetrical front with three windows. The six-over-six pane sash windows do not have horns and are framed by moulded architraves on the upper floors.

The first floor is distinguished by paired Ionic pilasters that support an entablature, with the cornice serving as a sill course for the attic storey. The projecting ground floor also features paired Tuscan pilasters supporting an entablature, a dentil cornice, and a coped parapet, with triglyphs positioned above the pilasters. At the center, there is a half-glazed door topped with a tall six-pane overlight and flanked by side lights, which is adorned with a dentil pediment at the parapet. To the left, a glazed lean-to conservatory with a hip roof is flanked by Tuscan pilasters and features horned two-over-two pane sash windows with horizontal glazing bars.

The interior has not been inspected. This house showcases an unusual Neo-classical design for its time, where classical orders and entablatures are used to enhance an otherwise plain structure. The building was adapted for business use in 1968.
