Description
Prebend House is a town house built in the early 19th century, with possible older origins, and has undergone alterations in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is rendered and features a double hipped plain-tile roof with brick end stacks. It has an L-shaped plan and is three stories high with a five-window range. The house is set back from the street and has central double-leaf doors with six panels and an overlight, located in an open stone porch that is accessed by three stone steps. The porch is supported by unfluted columns at the front, which have Greek key patterns on their capitals, and there are pilasters on the innermost sides that support an entablature and a pedimented parapet with antefixes.
The ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows with moulded, rendered surrounds, while the second floor has 9-pane sashes with similar surrounds. The building features a rendered plinth with moulded coping and two cellar windows. There are also rendered rusticated quoins and moulded rendered eaves. At the rear left, there is a three-storey wing that is partly constructed of coursed limestone rubble and partly of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a slate roof, cogged brick eaves, and a brick end stack at the back.
