Description

No. 26 is a small town house, now used as offices, built around 1803. It features a granite ashlar front, an asbestos slate roof behind a parapet, and a brick end stack on the right. The building has a double-depth plan and is one of a near pair. It stands two storeys over a basement with a two-window-range front. The shallow segmental arches have projecting key blocks, and there is a mid-floor string and parapet cornice. The doorway on the left has a moulded cornice, and the panelled door is set back; it features late 19th century or 20th century horned sash windows. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. The forecourt is flanked by wrought-iron railings that stand over the forecourt walls, which adjoin granite steps leading down to the basement.
