Description

Gloucester House is an early 19th century house built of buff-coloured brick. It features a slate roof with gabled ends and oversailing eaves. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, and is arranged in three bays. The windows are tripartite sash windows with glazing bars, set beneath flat rubbed brick arches, with a single light sash in the centre of the first floor. There are stringcourses at the first floor that are level and positioned above the first floor windows.

The house has a central glazed porch supported by pilasters, with an entablature and a traceried rectangular fanlight. There are attic windows in the gable ends, and a brick chimney stack is located at the end gable.
