Description
Trinity House is a town house that has been converted into offices. It was built in the mid-18th century and features a rendered exterior on what is likely rubble. The building has a steep dry slate hipped roof with slightly projecting eaves and three pedimented roof dormers, each containing 16-pane horned sash windows. Similar windows are found on the hips of the roof, and there are large gabled rubble lateral stacks at the rear. The building has a shallow-depth plan and includes a basement plinth and sill bands on the upper floors. The 18th-century windows are 24-pane hornless sashes, and there is a central round-arched pilastered doorway topped with an open pediment, featuring a cobweb fanlight and a six-panel door. The interior has not been fully inspected, but original moulded plaster ceiling cornices have been noted, suggesting that it may contain other interesting features.
