No 10 Including The Old Tobacco House To Left

This is a pair of houses, originally one dwelling, dating from the early 18th century, with alterations in the late 18th or early 19th century. The front is rendered and has a slate roof, with a brick chimney on the right side wall. Number 10, the right-hand house, has a double-depth plan, consisting of one room wide with a short wing to the rear. The ground floor contains a through-passage on the left, leading to a rear staircase positioned behind the left-hand end of the front room.

The building is three storeys high, with a three-window front common to both houses. Paired doorways replace the central ground-floor window, with recessed six-panelled doors, the lower panels being flush, and are approached by two stone steps. These doorways are flanked and separated by three fluted Doric pilasters supporting a single entablature, and have narrow three-paned fanlights. The ground and second-storey windows have raised surrounds with pointed tops; the third-storey windows have plain raised surrounds. All windows have two-paned sashes with a single upright glazing bar; the sashes in the left-hand ground-floor window, all three second-floor windows, and the middle third-floor windows have horns. The front of the building features rusticated quoins. Rear windows have barred sashes.

The interior of Number 10 contains an early 18th-century wooden dog-leg staircase rising to the third storey. The first flight of the staircase has a later, late 18th or early 19th-century balustrade with thin, square balusters, while the remainder of the staircase retains its original turned balusters, square newels with ball-finials and pendants, and a moulded handrail. The front ground-floor room has a dentilled box cornice and, on the right wall, one-fillet ovolo-moulded raised-and-fielded panelling with two round-arched cupboards featuring shaped shelves, all of early 18th-century origin. A mid-19th-century wood chimneypiece with an ornate iron grate is also present. The rear room has late 18th-century cupboards with panelled doors. The front first-floor room has an early 18th-century bolection-moulded wood chimneypiece and some sunk bolection panelling. The rear room contains a fireplace with an ovolo-moulded architrave, cornice, and iron grate. Other rooms also include 19th-century iron grates. The Old Tobacco House, which is said to have originated as a warehouse, was not inspected. A late 20th-century inscription, "THE OLD TOBACCO HOUSE," is on the left-hand door.
