Description
Number 9 is a house dating from around 1800 to the early 19th century. It is three storeys high and built of ashlar stone, with a slate roof and two chimneys. The front of the house has three bays facing a yard, with one bay extending under the gable to the street. Features include chamfered, rusticated quoins, a plinth, and two horizontal bands above the ground floor. A coved cornice runs around the entire building. Most windows have simple surrounds, except for a blind, round-headed window on the first floor, which has a triple keystone. This design detail is repeated on the second floor of the gable end, where it interrupts the cornice. There is one door leading to the yard, and another now blocked in the gable end, both with plain surrounds. The windows are sash windows, with all original glazing bars except those on the ground floor. The front door has four panels and a rectangular fanlight, with a similar arrangement at the rear. Two staircase windows extend from near the ground floor up to the cornice, retaining their original glazing bars. The interior was inaccessible during the survey. A garden wall runs along the rear of the property, with smaller rusticated gate piers. A mid-19th century extension to Number 9 is built of rubble stone with a slate roof and one chimney. This extension features a large, elliptical arched recess that rises through two floors, providing shelter for an external stone staircase leading to a first-floor entry. It also contains sash windows with all original glazing bars and a carriage entrance with an elliptical arched head that is now blocked.
