Description
This town house, now used as offices, was likely built around 1830. It features cut and squared local stone in random courses with Ham stone dressings. The roof is Welsh slate, set between coped gables, with a truncated brick stack at the left end. The two-storey facade has five bays arranged in an A.B.A.B.A. pattern, with the middle three bays projecting slightly.
The entrance doorway in the second bay has a plain architrave, a flat stone hood, and typical Yeovil pattern console brackets. It includes a six-panelled door topped by an ornamental rectangular cast iron fanlight. The windows consist of 12-pane sashes in bays two and four, and 8-pane sashes in bays one, three, and five, with bays one and three being blank on the ground floor. All windows are set in architraves, and the facade features a small plinth, a band course between the floors, and unmarked quoins. A low parapet with cornice moulding caps the three central bays.
To the left of the entrance, there is a full-height stone front boundary wall, which is reduced in height on the right side. The boundary is marked by two rustic jointed stone gate piers with flat square moulded caps. The interior has not been inspected.
