Description
29 Pittville Street is an earlier 19th century, two-storey, four-bay classical terraced house that has undergone later alterations. The house features polished, deeply-channelled ashlar on the ground floor and droved ashlar on the first floor, with polished ashlar dressings. The side and rear elevations are constructed from squared and snecked rubble. Architectural details include a base course, a broad band course, panelled aprons beneath the cill course of the first-floor windows, a cornice, and a blocking course.
On the southeast (principal) elevation, the second bay from the left is almost centrally placed, with the bays to the right being compressed. There is a panelled door at ground level, with a rectangular plate glass fanlight and a window above on the first floor. Each of the flanking bays has windows on both floors.
The northwest (rear) elevation is not fully visible, but it features a two-storey extension that projects from the main structure. The house has four-pane timber sash and case windows and a grey slate M-roof that slopes to the rear to cover the extension. The apex stacks are coped with ashlar.
The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1994. The boundary walls are made of droved ashlar with coping and were formerly fitted with railings.
