Emmaus House And Attached Front Garden Wall

Emmaus House, now a convent, is an attached house dating from the early 18th century. It is built of Flemish-bond brick with limestone dressings and features gable stacks, although the roof is not visible. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the early Georgian style, standing two storeys tall with an attic and a symmetrical front that includes five windows. The façade is made of red brick with yellow headers, and it has rusticated pilaster strips along a ground-floor string, a first-floor cornice, and moulded parapet coping.

The mid-18th century doorway is notable for its pilasters supporting an open pediment, a semicircular-arched entrance with a teardrop fanlight and lantern, and a door with six raised panels. The windows feature rubbed brick flat arches with keys, 6/6-pane sashes in exposed frames, and 3/3-pane windows in the attic. There are semicircular stair windows on the right return of the building.

Inside, the entrance hall has a semicircular panelled arch leading to a rear right-hand open dogleg stair, which is adorned with column balusters, column newels, and a moulded ramped rail. There is also an early 19th-century marble fireplace.

Additionally, there is an attached squared coursed front garden wall to the northeast, which includes panelled ashlar piers, spear-headed cast-iron gates, and railings.
