Description
Lamb House is a house in a row, built around 1800. It features a facade made of Doulting ashlar stone, with rendered sides and a Welsh slate mansard roof that has coped gables and rendered end chimney stacks. The building has two storeys with attics and consists of three bays.
The exterior includes a plinth, a deep cornice, and a plain parapet with moulded coping. The first bay on the ground floor has a flat-roofed 32-pane bow window, which is flanked by fluted side pilasters and has a fascia with a cornice. The third bay and all first-floor bays contain 12-pane sash windows in plain openings. The central doorway, accessed by four steps, features a six-panel door with a cast-iron rectangular fanlight that has ornamental glazing bars. This doorway is set within an architrave and topped with a pediment hood supported by console brackets, above which is a wrought-iron bracket that once held a lamp. There are flat-roofed dormer windows behind the parapet for the first and third bays.
The interior has not been inspected. The house is noted for its fine ashlar facade and distinctive bow window.
