Description

6 The Row in Longformacus is an earlier 19th century house with later alterations. It is a single-storey building with an attic and has three bays, forming part of an irregular terrace. The exterior features harl-pointed rubble with some plastic repairs and droved sandstone dressings. The openings have long and short sandstone surrounds with chamfered edges and projecting cills.

On the southeast (entrance) elevation, there is a boarded timber door located to the right of the center. Above this door is a corbelled and gabled wallhead dormer, which is blocked, positioned to the left. To the outer left, there is a boarded timber garage door at ground level with a timber lintel. A bipartite gabled wallhead dormer breaks the eaves above this bay. To the outer right, there is a tripartite window at ground level, with a blocked gabled wallhead dormer breaking the eaves above.

The northwest (rear) elevation was not seen in 1997. The house features lying-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, some of which are blocked. The roof is covered with grey slate, has raised stone skews, and includes cast-iron rainwater goods. There is a brick ridge stack to the northeast and a sandstone ridge stack to the southwest, which may be mutual with the adjacent No 5. The stacks have circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997. In front of the house, there is a cobbled path that forms part of a continuous stretch along the front of the terrace.
