53, Cold Harbour

No. 53 Cold Harbour is a detached house dating from the early 19th century. It features solid rendered walls and a hipped slate roof with two parallel spans. The house has three rebuilt red-brick chimneys and is likely double-fronted and double-depth. It stands two storeys tall and has a four-window range. The ground storey is concealed behind locked gates, but the upper storey, facing southeast, has six-paned sash windows. A listing from 1973 notes a good Ionic porch and a fanlight. The gable wall facing the street has two windows with glazing bars: one with eight over twelve panes on the ground storey and one with six over six panes on the second storey. Both this wall and the southeast front feature a small entablature with bead-and-reel ornament below the gutter. The rear wall has two sash windows with glazing bars in the upper storey: one with six over six panes and the other with two over two panes. The house is set at right angles to the street and is enclosed by a high stone wall.
