ST5445 ST ANDREW STREET 662-1/7/246 (North side) No.4

GV II

House at end of row. Mid to late C18, with mid C19 alterations. Rendered and colourwashed, double Roman tile roof, brick stacks. A narrow-frontage property with parallel roofs and central valley; each range has a rear eaves stack. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, one large 12-pane sash to segmental head above 2 small inserted windows. At each end is a panelled pilaster, that to the right with coved cornice, not continued to the eaves. The twin gables facing E are both coped, and there are various C20 casements, and a central C20 door. At the NW corner is a panelled pilaster similar to those on the front. INTERIOR: not inspected. This property was cut back in the 1930s when the corner of The Liberty and St Andrew Street was modified for a road widening. The site has been occupied at least since the C13, when the street was known as Byestwel. This property was probably rebuilt at the same times as Nos 5 and 6 (qqv), with which it shares some detail, and is included for group value.
