Number 1 And House Adjoining On Right With Attached Walls And Railings

A pair of houses of one build, now offices and flats, were constructed around 1800. The buildings are of solid rendered walls with slated roofs and red brick and rendered chimneys.

Number 1 is double-fronted and double-depth, with a central entrance passage leading to a staircase at the rear. The upper floor comprises three rooms, suggesting the original layout. The house to the right is likely similar, with an original or near-original rear wing. A passage exists between the two houses, with a room above, currently belonging to the right-hand house.

The houses are two storeys high, with a garret likely added later to the right-hand house. Each house has a three-window range, with the house to the right incorporating an additional window above the central passage. The centre doorways are round-arched, framed by Doric columns supporting sections of triglyph frieze, topped with open triangular pediments featuring modillions. The doors are eight-panelled, with a central bead-moulding, and the right-hand house has a cobweb fanlight. Windows are mostly 8-paned sashes, with the lower ground floor sashes having 12 panes. Giant pilasters flank each end of the pair, and a raised band delineates the storeys. A moulded top cornice and blocking-course projects over the pilasters. The central passage contains a plain round-arched opening. The rear elevation features barred sashes, including a round-arched stair window. The right-hand house has brackets supporting the gutters, potentially remnants of an original eaves cornice.

The interior of Number 1 was inspected and reveals ground-floor rooms with six-panelled doors. The two right-hand rooms are well-preserved, boasting dados with moulded rails and skirting, boxed cornices, a grey marble chimneypiece at the front, a similar wooden one at the rear, and panelled shutters. The left-hand front room has a grey marble chimneypiece. A geometric wooden staircase features voluted feet and shaped step ends, with two thin square wood balusters and three horizontal bars between them. The upper-floor landing features a groin-vaulted ceiling springing from four pilasters. Doors are four-panelled with raised mouldings. Original moulded wooden chimneypieces are present in the front and rear left-hand rooms, while the right-hand front room has a stone chimneypiece with a bracketed shelf.

At the front, the houses have small raised gardens with rendered retaining walls, and some iron railings remain, with lily finials adorning the standards at the right-hand house. These represent a well-preserved example of early 19th-century houses.
