No 20 And Attached Forecourt Railings

No. 20 is a town house built around 1799 by builder Josiah Randell for lessee Edward Milford. The building features a granite ashlar basement with local dressed freestone above, topped by a dry Delabole slate roof and rendered end stacks. It has a double-depth plan with a central entrance hall situated between two front reception rooms. The house is two storeys high with a blocked basement and has a symmetrical three-window front.

The central entrance boasts a wide elliptically-arched doorway and a distyle Doric porch supported by fluted columns and paired brackets beneath a flat cornice. The entrance includes panelled reveals, a panelled door with side panels, and a spoked fanlight. Additional architectural details include a mid-floor string, a moulded parapet cornice, and 20th-century horned sash windows with glazing bars set under shallow segmental arches featuring projecting key blocks.

Inside, the original moulded and carved plaster ceiling cornices and bands can be seen in the front rooms. The property is complemented by wrought-iron railings that flank the granite-stepped entrance bridge and stand over forecourt walls, which lead down to granite steps accessing the basement.
