Prospect House and Attached Front Basement Balustrades

Prospect House and the attached front basement balustrades is an attached house built in 1765 by Thomas Paty. It features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, gable stacks, and a pantile hipped roof, showcasing a mid-Georgian style. The building has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a five-window range. The symmetrical front has the middle three windows set forward, with a plat band, a first-floor sill band, a cornice, and a parapet that is lowered for three hipped dormers. The doorway is highlighted by a bracketed pediment and a stepped key to the Gibbs surround, along with a narrow rectangular overlight and a 20th-century six-panel door. The windows have Gibbs surrounds with stepped keys and sill blocks on the ground and second floors, including a semicircular-arched window above the doorway. The ground-floor and middle first-floor windows feature 6/6-pane sashes with thick bars, while the rear has 6/6-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected. The front basement area balustrades curve towards the doorway and are similar to those found at Boyce's Buildings and the adjoining Beresford House.
