Description
Island House, Island Cottage, and Island Lodge are mid-18th century buildings located on Minster Street. They are two storeys high and constructed of brick on a plinth, featuring a moulded band over the ground floor and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The roof is covered with old tiles and is partly hipped, with two brick ridge chimneys.
The front of the building has four bays, with a six-panelled door located in the second bay from the left, which is sheltered by a modified Doric porch supported by slender columns. The windows are glazing bar sash windows. To the west, there is an early 19th-century extension made up of two sections, each with a doorway. The eastern return matches this style, featuring a hipped roof and four ranges of glazing bar sashes. To the right, there is a taller mid-19th-century wing with a slate roof.
On the rear elevation, the central section has a modillion cornice and a two-storey angled bay with a hipped roof and three ranges of glazing bar sash windows. The doorcase is notable, featuring an open pediment on scroll brackets, a half-glazed door with a radiating fanlight, and a soffit decorated with roundels. The doorcase is framed by narrow pilasters with chevron necking, and there is a round-headed stair window above it. Inside, there is a good late 18th-century oak staircase with a turned lower part of the rail. The buildings have now been divided into flats.
