Number 92 And Attached Piers And Gates

Number 92 is a house with attached piers and gates, likely originating in the 17th century, but significantly restructured in the 18th century, particularly the main facade facing the street. It is rendered with colourwashing, topped by a clay pantiled roof with a stepped coped east gable, extending to the west. A brick chimney stack is centrally positioned.

The house features a single-depth cross-passage front range, with two heated rooms; a straight-flight staircase runs alongside the passage and to the right, with a smaller room beyond the left-hand room, also with a chimney stack. A long, lower wing, possibly from the 17th or 18th century, extends to the rear, left, and continues as a barn.

The street-facing elevation is two storeys high, with three bays, although windows in bays two and three are blocked, leaving only sills visible. Bay one has a two-light mullioned casement window on the ground floor and an eight-pane sash window with exposed boxes above. A six-panel door in a recessed surround, with a moulded architrave and semicircular timber hood, is located in the lower bay. The east gable is plain, with a 20th-century five-light casement window on the ground floor. A lower extension to the rear, south side, comprises three bays, with 20th-century doorways below. Above, there's a three-light horizontal-bar casement window to the second and third bays. This range has a coped gable but is hipped at the inner end, facing the main roof, and features a large ridge stack near the street end. The rear of the main range has four flat-roofed dormers above two twelve-pane sashes and a paired twelve-pane window with a mullion box, set beneath a cambered brick head at first floor. At ground floor are a tripartite eight:twelve:eight-pane sash and a sixteen-pane sash, separated by a 20th-century door, and followed by a glazed conservatory.

The barn has a hipped roof, with a section continuing as a porch to a door at the end of the wing. This wing was largely restructured in the late 20th century.

Internally, the passage is stone-flagged. The right-hand room has an Adamesque fireplace and a deep recess with an elliptical head; the left-hand room has a chimney breast with a blocked fireplace, opening into the kitchen beyond. These rooms have panelled window shutters and some four- and six-panel doors. A basement, accessed by a straight flight of stone steps beneath the main staircase, features a wide segmental brick vault. The upper floors and the wing were not inspected.

Outside, on the north-east corner, is a small pedestrian gate, followed by a pair of late 19th-century boarded gates set between brick gate piers with stone bands and moulded caps. The pavement crossing and the initial section of the driveway are paved with granite setts.
