Description
No. 37 is a small town house located at the end of a row, built around 1810. It features a front made of local freestone ashlar and has an asbestos slate roof with a hipped return on the right and a brick end stack on the left. The house has two storeys over a basement and a front with two windows. On the right side, there is a round-arched doorway that contains a 20th-century six-panel door and a plain fanlight. To the left, there is an original 16-pane hornless sash window, while the first floor has horned sash windows that are copies of the original, all set under slightly cambered arches with projecting keyblocks. The eaves are supported by paired brackets. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is likely to be of interest. The property also includes closely-spaced wrought-iron railings with fleur-de-lis finials that sit on a plinth in front of the house and lead to the gate for the basement steps.
