Description

No. 22, located on the north-east side of The Beacon, is a late 19th-century building featuring a painted brick facade and a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and has two windows. The east side includes a full-height bay that ends in a hipped gable, with all windows being unbarred sashes and bands below the bays. The entrance consists of a round arched door flanked by panelled pilasters, an impost band, and a plain fanlight. Above the door is a label on enriched consoles with low relief mouldings. The property also has area railings and an iron balustrade leading to the steps. The rear elevation retains a slate-hung bow and a round arched staircase window. This building is included for its group value.
