St Andrew's House

St Andrew’s House is a circa 1795 building, apparently constructed for the Olivier family, who were glove manufacturers. It is a two-storey house with an attic and basement, built of red brick with a projecting moulded plinth, a moulded gault brick cornice, a parapet, and coping. The front is divided into three sections by full-height gault brick pilasters. The roof is tiled, hipped to the right, with flanking chimneys, and has three dormers. The front façade features five bays with pilasters offset at the corners and flanking the centre. It has sash windows with glazing bars, set within rubbed brick flat arches. The central entrance features an eight-panelled door with raised and fielded panels, set within a moulded architrave frame. The door is sheltered by a semi-elliptical porch supported by two slender Doric columns and wall pilasters, topped with an entablature featuring dentilled and bracketed cornices, standing on three steps (now cement). Original street walls have been replaced by brick walls containing ashlar gatepiers and modern wrought-iron gates. A three-bay service wing extends to the right, featuring a modillion block cornice and cut brackets above the door. The garden front incorporates a central first-floor Venetian window.
