Description
Somerset House and the adjoining house are a pair of three-storey, double-fronted townhouses built in the Georgian style. They feature pebble-dashed walls, a slate roof, and thin roughcast end stacks. The lower storey of Somerset House includes a panelled door, a small-pane former shop window to the left, and a 12-pane sash window to the right. The house on the left has a central double-leaf panel door flanked by 6-pane shop windows. In both houses, the windows on the middle and upper storeys are small-pane horned sashes, except for a small sash window above the entrance of the left-hand house, which retains its 4-pane upper sash but has the lower sash removed and boarded over. The upper-storey windows break through the eaves and are situated beneath gables.
