Description
Trafalgar House is a large town house built in the early 19th century. It features a stucco exterior on rubble with keyed heads and a steep hipped slate roof that has a modillion eaves cornice. The house has slate hanging on the visible returns and a brick stack on the left, with a round lead-roofed observatory at the back. The building has a deep plan that includes later rear additions and is designed in a late Georgian style. It stands three storeys tall and has a regular four-window range. The original or early 19th-century twelve-pane hornless sash windows are present, and there is a triangular pedimented doorway on the left with a moulded architrave adorned with guttae, panelled reveals, a traceried overlight, and a six-panel door. Inside, there is an open-well open-string staircase with a moulded string and stick balusters. The entrance hall features an egg and dart cornice, and while the rest of the interior has not been inspected, it is likely to be of interest.
