Description
The End House is a house in a terrace of five, built in the early 19th century. It features a rendered exterior with stone dressings, all colourwashed, and has a Welsh slate roof along with ashlar stone and brick chimney stacks. The house has a double-depth plan and is two storeys high with attics and a basement, comprising two wide bays.
The exterior includes a plinth and end pilasters that return as an eaves band course. It has sash windows with plain architraves, featuring 16 panes on the ground floor and 12 panes on the first floor. Between the lower windows is a six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight that has ornamental glazing. This door is framed by a stone doorcase with Tuscan pilasters, paterae, a dosseret, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice. There are small flat-roofed dormers with slate cheeks, which contain two-light small-pane casement windows. The house also has a cast-iron ogee gutter and grilles in the paved area leading to the basement.
The interior has not been inspected. The End House is attached on the left to No.31 Saddler Street, and together with Nos. 1-9 (odd), it forms a consistent early 19th-century terrace design.
