Numbers 60, 60A And 62 With Rear Boundary Wall

This property comprises numbers 60, 60A, and 62, together with a rear boundary wall, and dates to circa 1810. It is a long house at the end of a row, rendered with stone dressings and colourwashed, topped by a hipped Welsh slate roof concealed behind high parapets. Brick chimney stacks are also present.

The plan features a single central staircase and a separate entrance on the return front for access to the upper floors.

The exterior is three storeys high with two bays. It includes a stone plinth, panelled pilasters to the upper floors, a coving and cornice, and a parapet with moulded coping. There are remnants of early 19th-century shop fronts; each bay features matching panelled pilasters, a thin fascia, and a cornice, with plain windows and half-glazed doors to the left. The first floor has two canted oriels with 4+12+4 panes, set on rendered coved upswept brackets and hipped lead roofs. The second floor features 12-pane sash windows in plain reveals. The long west return elevation mirrors the front with two canted bays and two doorways featuring plain pilasters, an entablature, and a flat hood. One door is a 2-panel door, the other part glazed, and both have rectangular fanlights. A 21-pane rounded-head stair sash is also present, accompanied by 12-pane sashes to the upper floor. The rear northwest corner is rounded, with a further two-storey extension extending from it and also featuring a rounded corner.

Internal arrangements have been modified, but the alterations are not substantial. Notable features include elaborate plaster cornices, especially intricate work to the hall ceiling. Much of the original joinery remains, including door cases, doors, and the straight staircase with plain balusters and a mahogany handrail with an exaggerated bottom wreath. A cast-iron hearth is set within a white marble surround in the rear passage.

At the rear, a high rubble wall with a swept cavetto cornice contains an arched opening with a 20th-century door and a stone sett paved approach. This wall extends to the front of Avenue House (number 64).
