Description
66 Walcot Street is a house with a smaller shop to the right, built around 1750 for the house and around 1790 for the shop. The building is made of limestone ashlar with pantile roofs and has moulded stacks, one to the left of the house and one to the right of the shop. The layout is a double depth, nearly L-shaped plan, with a rear range of the shop completing the rectangular design.
The exterior features three storeys and a basement for the house, with a three-window front, while the shop has two storeys and a basement with a single window front. Both sections have coped parapets and cornices, with the house's cornice encircling it in a simpler form. The windows are six/six-pane sash windows. The house has moulded architraves on the upper floors, with pediments over the first-floor windows. The ground floor has a platband and a rubblestone plinth, with six steps leading up to a set-back six-panel door that is glazed at the top, framed by a doorcase with Tuscan pilasters and a pediment at ground floor level. There is also a platband with a narrow blind window to the right. The canted range at the far right features a two-pane overlight and a wide door. The shop, which is attached to the right and part of the same property, has a plain frieze and one window in the centre of the first floor, with a ground floor platband returning to the right. It has a 20th-century door to the left and a blocked shop window with a plain fascia and moulded sill. The rear range is a single storey.
Inside, most of the 18th-century stone fireplaces and hob grates remain. The rooms to the left have panelled dados, and the first-floor left room has panelled cupboards flanking the fireplace, a timber mantle shelf, and an egg-and-dart cornice with a foliate frieze. The dog-leg staircase features a wide mahogany handrail and turned balusters.
This house has undergone extensive alterations and was used for cattle-market related purposes until the 1970s, housing the Fatstock Marketing Corporation in 1973.
