Description
Rycroft is a terraced house built around the 1840s. It has a plastered exterior and a gabled slate roof, with stacks that have rendered shafts and platbands. The building has a double-depth plan, two rooms wide, with a central entrance.
The house is two storeys tall and features a symmetrical three-bay front with a cornice below the parapet. The central entrance has a recessed six-panel front door with panelled reveals and a plain overlight. The doorway is adorned with a moulded arch supported by moulded brackets, featuring a bird-shaped bracket at the apex. The ground-floor windows include a six-over-nine pane sash on the left and a twelve-pane sash on the right, both with floating cornices on moulded brackets. The first floor has three twelve-pane sash windows with moulded sills and sill blocks. There is a 20th-century attic dormer.
The interior has not been inspected but may contain interesting features. Rycroft is one of a pair with No.2 Beenland Gardens.
