4, Duke Street

A large house, now used as doctors' and dentists' surgeries, was built around 1900. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar sandstone dressings, and has a graduated slate roof. The house is three storeys high, with a three-bay entrance front to Duke Street. It features an angled corner bay to the left and a two-bay, two-storey wing on the left return. The design is asymmetrical.

Most of the windows are mullioned and transomed, with plain sashes set behind the transoms. The entrance front has a moulded plinth. Bay 2 of the front projects, and bay 3 breaks forward further, both with gables. The porch to bay 2 has a moulded, quoined doorway with three round-arched transom lights under a basket arch with a hoodmould and carved stops. A small round-arched window sits to the right of the doorway, with ashlar offsets above. The ovolo-moulded, three-light stair-window above has two transoms, stained glass and arched lights beneath a segmental arch with a keystone and hoodmould. Bay 1 has a segmentally-arched sash with a hoodmould to the ground and first floors. Bay 3 has a two-storey, cavetto-moulded, canted bay-window with a 1:2:1 arrangement of lights, transoms, a cornice with fleurons and a parapet with blind, pointed arches.

The second floor of bay 1 is blind. Bay 2 has a cross-window with arched lights and a hoodmould under a relieving arch. Bay 3 has a transomed, three-light window with a hoodmould featuring carved stops and a finial. There is a moulded eaves cornice over bay 1. The corner bay has a large, curved oriel window with ashlar corbelling, sunken apron panels and a cornice. Above the oriel is a cross-window. The gables above the corner bay, bay 2 and bay 3 have shaped kneelers, moulded ashlar gable copings, finials and slits.

The roof is hipped, with terracotta ridges and finials. There is a single-flue stack to the ridge on the left, and multiple-flue stacks to the left-return ridge and right end; these stacks have panelled shafts. The left return is plainer, with a small gable above two cross-windows set between ashlar shafts.

The interior includes lobby doors with coloured, leaded glass. The stair hall features a small corner fireplace with a canopy, an embossed dado depicting pot plants and a staircase with fluted and panelled newels with finials and a stained oak handrail composed of square rods. Three ground-floor doorways have architraves and brattished cornices; two have nine-panel doors and pointed recesses above. Two pointed arches are on the landing, with a panelled ceiling featuring moulded ribs. The staircase to the second floor has slender, turned balusters. The house was not shown on the 1895 Ordnance Survey map, suggesting it was likely built shortly thereafter.
