Description
The Nurseries is a mid-19th century dwelling, originally built at the end of a terrace. It appears to be continuous with Ludlow House and Westend House. The building is a mix of rendered and ashlar construction, featuring flat pilaster corner strips and a Welsh slate roof. It is two windows wide, with sash windows lacking bars. The windows are widely spaced, and a central door is topped with a slightly segmental hood, surrounded by alternating quoins. Inside, there is a newel stair at the back, on the left side.
