Description
Number 51 and the attached basement area wall is a house, now used as offices, built around 1772. It features a brick and stucco exterior with limestone dressings, a left-hand brick lateral stack, and a pantile roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the mid Georgian style.
The structure stands three storeys high with a basement and has a three-window range. The right-hand doorway, dating from the late 18th century, is adorned with brackets supporting a pediment, has stepped keys to a semicircular arch, a fanlight, and a six-panel door. The windows feature rubbed brick flat arches and include 6/6-pane sashes, with 3/3-pane sashes on the second floor.
The stuccoed left side of the building presents a symmetrical elevation with blind right-hand windows beneath the lateral stack, designed to resemble Nos 1-5 Colston Parade. The ground floor is rusticated and has a plat band with incised voussoirs. A central doorway from the mid-18th century has a Gibbs surround, key, and pediment above a fanlight and six-panel door, with flat arches above the 6/6-pane sashes.
While the interior has not been inspected, it is noted to contain a dogleg stair and panelled shutters.
The building also features an attached, ramped front basement area wall with rounded coping that curves up to the doorway, which includes a boot scraper, and there is a vaulted cellar below the pavement.
