74 and 76, Longwestgate

74 and 76 Longwestgate are late 18th-century buildings located on the north side of Longwestgate. They are two storeys tall with an attic and a basement, constructed of red brick, likely of Dutch origin, featuring a stucco band on the first floor. The buildings have a stone frieze and a bracketed cornice, topped with a gable end pantile roof that has flanking chimneys and two small dormers. The symmetrical front consists of five bays with recessed sash windows that have flat stucco arches and intact glazing bars. The main entrance features a door with six fielded panels, a rectangular fanlight, and a doorcase supported by engaged fluted Doric columns. The doorcase includes a reeded frieze with roundel ornament and a flat cornice, and is accessed by a flight of eight stone steps with wooden area rails and 'cannon' standards. Nos 68 and 72 to 76 form a group with these buildings.
