St Albans

St Albans is an attached house that has been converted into a convent. It was built in the mid to late 18th century and was extended and refronted in the late 19th century. The building features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, lateral stacks, and a slate hipped roof. It has a double-depth plan, two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a six-window range.

The symmetrical entrance front has a projecting centre, a ground-floor cornice, a first-floor cornice that extends around the building, and a deep cornice. To the left, there is a later two-storey, three-window block that extends forward. The entrance is marked by an open ashlar porch with pilasters supporting a pediment and a semicircular arch that has a blocked archivolt. It features a 20th-century six-panel door. Above the porch is a canted bay with a timber segmental pediment. There are small semicircular-arched windows on each side of the porch, with the rest of the windows being 6/6-pane sashes, a central 3/6-pane attic sash, and 6-pane lights on each side.

At the rear, there is a central section in the late Georgian style with semicircular-arched stair windows, and a left-hand doorway that has a tented wrought-iron porch with lattice sides. Inside, there is a rear dogleg stair with an uncut string, stick balusters, and column newels. The lateral entrance hall leads to a left-hand late 19th-century dogleg stair with moulded balusters and large newels.
