Description
No. 53 is a small town house, now used as an office, built around 1832. It features a dressed coursed local stone front and a dry Delabole slate roof with two hipped dormers and brick chimneys at the gable ends, with a party wall on the right. The building has a double-depth plan and is two storeys tall, with a two-window range on the front.
On the right side, there are two round-arched doorways; the left doorway has an open pediment supported by engaged fluted columns and panelled reveals. Both doorways contain six-panel doors and spoked fanlights. The original hornless sash windows with glazing bars are set under flat arches on the ground floor and shallow cambered arches on the first floor, all featuring projecting keyblocks.
The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. The property is complemented by close-spaced wrought-iron railings with scrolled arrow-head finials flanking the entrance, which includes a pair of gates and returns over a granite plinth of a shallow forecourt.
