Description

No. 8 Temple Square is an 18th-century building that is partly two-storey and partly two-storey with an attic, featuring different levels. The exterior is finished with colour-washed plaster over brick and has an old tile roof. It includes one box dormer and five windows on the first floor, while the ground floor has four windows, all without glazing bars. The entrance consists of a six-panel door topped by a rectangular fanlight with an interlaced curved pattern. This door is framed by reeded pilasters and a flat moulded hood, which has a panelled soffit that repeats the fanlight's pattern. Inside, there are elements of 17th-century Flemish and Dutch panelling incorporated into doors and dados. All listed buildings in Temple Square are part of a group value context.
