Description
The Archer House is a late 18th century building, originally two houses, situated on Dunster Steep. It is constructed of stucco, with a slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high, with a six-window front featuring sash windows with glazing bars. The two doorways have reeded pilasters and elliptical fanlights with tracery; the left-hand door is panelled, while the right-hand door incorporates glazing. Pilasters are used to simulate quoins.
