No 42 With Attached Stables And Remains Of Barn

No. 42 is a town house that has been converted into offices, with attached stables and the remains of a barn. It dates from the mid-19th century and earlier. The front features stucco on masonry, with rusticated openings in the basement, channelled rustication, and hoodmoulds with keys at the ground floor. There is a moulded string course and moulded hoods on consoles flanking carved friezes at the first floor, as well as keyed flat arches at the second floor. The roof is covered with dry slate and has moulded eaves supported by widely spaced brackets.

The building has a double-depth plan for the front range and a deep wing at right angles to the rear left, which connects to steps and the stables. At the rear, there is a ruinous parallel range that includes a doorway from the 16th or 17th century. The structure is three storeys high over a basement and has a four-window range. The original second-floor windows are 9-pane hornless sashes, while the later 19th or 20th-century windows are two-pane horned sashes. The ground floor has two windows with 20th-century glazing above two smaller basement openings, all featuring segmental arches, along with a doorway on the left and an elliptically-arched granite carriageway on the right.

The rear outshut includes three original 12-pane hornless sashes, older 16-pane sashes in the low wing, and a taller three-window range to its right. Steps are located to the right of this range, leading to a two-storey stable with a hipped roof made of rubble, which has a central ground-floor doorway and another doorway to its right. The return range, likely a barn, features a central moulded four-centred-arched doorway from the 16th or 17th century, with a loading doorway above and a window opening to the left of the doorway. The interior has not been inspected but is expected to be of interest.
