Description
Brick House is a town house from the late 18th century, which was later fitted with a shopfront and has since reverted to a house. It features a red brick front and a dry slate hipped roof with a moulded eaves cornice. The building has rendered end stacks and cast-iron ogee gutters with carved joints. It likely has a double-depth plan with two rooms at the front flanking a central entrance hall. The house stands three storeys high and has a two-window range. The late 19th or 20th century windows are four-pane horned sashes set in reduced openings with segmental arches. The ground floor has incised stucco on partly blocked window openings, which also have similar sashes. The central doorway features a fanlight above a late 19th century panelled door, and there is a fire insurance plaque above the doorway. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
