Number 48 And Attached Forecourt Walls And Railings

Number 48 is a house in a terrace, likely built in the very early 19th century as part of a planned late Georgian street laid out in 1773. The exterior is rendered over rubble and features a dry slate roof with a dentilled eaves cornice, along with three hipped roof dormers and large brick end stacks. The house has a double-depth plan plus rear service wings on both sides.

The symmetrical front elevation has three windows per floor and a restored plinth and mid-floor band. Late 19th or early 20th century two-pane sash windows with horns are present. The central doorway is pilastered with a blind fanlight to an open pediment, and an overlight above a four-panel, top-glazed door. A later porch has been added to the left-hand return. The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to contain features of interest.

Subsidiary features include a low plinth to the basement forecourt wall and wrought iron railings with pierced arrowhead finials.
