Description

6 Brighton Street is a plain, classical tenement building dating from around 1821. It stands five storeys tall and has ten bays arranged in a pattern of four and six. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, polished at the ground level and droved above, with rubble on the end and rear elevations. Notable features include a base course, a band course between the ground and first floors, an eaves cornice, and stone cills. The entrance to No. 10 features a round arched door surround, with timber panelled doors and fanlights.

The windows are timber sash and case, featuring 12-pane glazing. The roof is a double pitch covered with grey slates, and it has straight skews. There are corniced ridge stacks, a rendered end stack, and cylindrical clay cans.
