Description

This is a circa 1780 house, altered in the mid-19th century. It is stuccoed with limestone dressings, has party wall stacks, and a slate mansard roof. The house has a double-depth plan and is built in a late Georgian style. It is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a two-window front. Rusticated pilaster strips run to a cornice and parapet. A left-hand, 19th-century banded ashlar porch has chamfered corners, a cornice, a balustrade with panelled corner dies, and ball finials. A right-hand doorway is semicircular arched, with the number 21 inscribed above, a plate-glass fanlight, six-panel doors with glazed top panels, and semicircular-arched windows to the front and side. A right-hand, full-height, three-light timber oriel window has cornices to the 8/8-pane and flanking 4/4-pane sashes, and architraves to the left-hand 6/6-pane sashes on the first floor, featuring a raised cornice. There are two 19th-century dormers with scrolled ears to the jambs, consoles to pediments, and horned 2/2-pane sashes. Large ball finials with a Greek key design around the middle adorn the corners of the parapet. The interior was not inspected. Attached to the property are wrought-iron spear-headed basement area gates and railings, topped with urn finials.
