Description

Farley House is a terrace of five houses, some of which are now used as business premises, built in 1856 for Charles Farley. The building features stucco on masonry and a main hipped mansard roof covered with concrete tiles, along with shaped gables, gable roof dormers, and a parapet. The flanking gable-ended cross wings have roofs made of Delabole slate, and there are brick axial stacks. The overall design is large and irregular, forming a U-shape, and is styled in an Elizabethan manner.

The terrace has two storeys plus attics and an overall front with ten windows. It includes four shaped gables that project forward from the main range, flanked by stepped gables of two projecting cross wings, with an entrance bay at the far right. Architectural details include a plinth, strings, quoins, gable copings, and turned finials. The projecting sections are further enhanced by two-storey bay windows. The gable entrance porches are distinct, but all feature pointed doorways. Nos. 10 and 12 on the right retain their original wooden transomed mullioned windows, while Nos. 14 and 16 were boarded up at the time of the survey in August 1990, and No. 18 has 20th-century windows.

Inside, the houses boast moulded plaster ceilings and an open-well open-string staircase with turned balusters and a mahogany handrail that is scrolled over the newel.
