Description

This is a late 16th century town house, raised around 1680 and restored in the 1980s, located at 14 Fitzroy Square, Dysart. It is a tall, two-storey and attic building with a three-bay, L-shaped plan, featuring a crowstepped gable and a pantiled roof. The building has a taller stair tower and a cap-house. Decorative corbels are present, along with crowstepped and finialled dormerheads.

The south-west (principal) elevation's ground and first floors are largely hidden by boundary walls, but it likely has regular window placement towards the centre and left side. Dormer windows break the eaves in the attic, with outer bay dormerheads crowstepped, and the central bay swept. A large, stepped wallhead stack is situated between the first and second bays.

The north-east (entrance) elevation features an advanced stair tower with a narrow window in the gablehead. A doorway with a segmental roll-moulded arch, splayed soffits, and a deep-set panelled timber door is located on the return to the left. A corbelled drip mould sits above the upper floor window on the left, and a small window breaks the eaves into a crowstepped dormerhead. A recessed part of the elevation has a door on the left and a small window to the right; further windows are located on the first and attic floors, the latter breaking the eaves into a swept dormer.

The north-west elevation presents a stair tower to the left of centre, with a blocked doorway at ground level and windows on the first, second floors, and one breaking the eaves to the right. A gabled bay to the right has small windows on the first and second floors, with a prominent wallhead stack.

On the south-east elevation, the lower floor is obscured by a boundary wall. Windows are present on the first floor and in the gablehead, with the latter breaking a corbel table and eaves moulding. A broad gablehead stack is located here.

The windows are timber sash and case, with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with traditional pantiles. Stacks are coped and harled, with ashlar-coped skews.

The interior features a spacious scale-and-platt stair with a 19th century balustrade, and an extensive kitchen fireplace. A room on the first floor on the south side retains a late 17th century flat cornice, along with further decorative details of the 18th and 19th centuries, including shutters, chair rails, cornices, and a chimneypiece. The attic floor retains a timber chimney surround dating from the late 17th century, as well as two-panel doors in the south room and similar panel doors and cupboards in the other two rooms.

A single-storey, rectangular outbuilding with a rubble structure, stone slab roof, and brick stack is located to the south-west, along Rectory Lane. Boundary walls consist of pyramidal-coped rubble walls to the south-west, semicircular-coped rubble walls to the south-east, and harled walls elsewhere.
