GV II

Small house in row. C18, but with early C19 front. Painted brick, tile roof, brick stack. 2 storeys, attic and basement, 1-windowed. 2-light flat-roofed dormer, one light leaded (as in No.52 (qv)), above 16-pane sashes to segmental heads on stone cills. To the left a panelled door to segmental head on 2 stone steps. Dentil eaves, straight joint in brickwork to left, stack to right. Parallel back range in brick and tile. INTERIOR: the ceiling of the ground-floor room is formed from rough timbers. A blocked stone fireplace, and steps down to cellar (not accessible). The relationship of this building with those on either side is not clear. The detail is similar to No.52, to the left, at roof level, but there is a straight joint between the properties; also the upper floor to No.53 is now (1991) part of No.54 (qv) to the right, with which it shares the chimney stack.
