Description
Mainstone House is a town house built in the 18th century. It features a stuccoed front with a plinth and a mid-floor band, and has a steep dry slate roof behind a parapet with a lower band. The house includes three hipped roof dormers that have shaped terracotta hip finials and slate-hung cheeks, along with brick end stacks. The layout is likely a double-depth plan with two rooms at the front flanking a central entrance hall. The building is two storeys plus an attic, with a symmetrical three-window front. The windows are 20th-century 12-pane horned sashes. There is a central porch with key-pattern pilasters and a dentilled entablature, featuring leaded lights on the panelled returns and a 20th-century door. The interior has not been inspected but may still have original features of interest.
