Description
The Narrow House is an end-of-row house from the earlier 18th century. It is built from local lias stone ashlar with Ham stone dressings and has a plain clay tile roof that features coped gables positioned at right angles to the street. A brick chimney stack is located on the north side. The house has two storeys with an attic and presents a gable end to the street. Architectural details include a plinth, a band course, a cornice, and a pedimented gable.
On the ground floor, there are three sash windows with 8, 12, and 8 panes, all set in architraved surrounds. The central window is positioned under a pedimented hood supported by console brackets and was formerly a doorway. The first floor has two matching 8-pane windows, while the attic features a semi-circular arched window with impost and keystones that breaks into the gable pediment. The south return elevation has three bays with plainer keystoned surrounds for the 12-pane sash windows, some of which still have thick glazing bars. A 20th-century entrance door is located in the first bay, topped by a plain rectangular fanlight. The interior has not been seen.
