Description
No. 21 is a small town house, now used as an office, built in 1799 by Edward Milford. The building features a granite ashlar basement with local freestone ashlar above and a dry Delabole slate roof behind a parapet, along with brick end stacks. It has a double-depth plan with one room at the front and stands two storeys high over a blocked basement, presenting a two-window-range front. Architectural details include a string and cornice at the parapet, and a round-headed doorway on the left with an open pediment, fluted pilasters, panelled reveals, and a spoked fanlight above a pair of three-panel doors. The ground floor has shallow segmental arches over 20th-century sashes with glazing bars, and a wider opening features a tripartite sash. Inside, the building has been slightly altered but retains its original moulded and carved plaster ceiling cornice and band in the front room. The forecourt is flanked by wrought-iron railings with scrolled finials.
