The Unicorn

Elegant classical building with stuccoed elevations; it essentially consists of a single-storey, flat-roofed cottage raised up above an arcaded basement, and it gives the impression of being a more substantial 2-storey villa due to its fine symmetrical facade. This is of 7 bays, with the central three advanced with moulded pediment and full-height pilasters defining the bay divisions. Elegant 15-pane sashes to the principal floor, that to the central bay with balcony and decorative mermaid balustrade, and those to the four outer wings with applied circular plaques above. Rusticated quoins to the corners and projecting keys and imposts to the arcade arches. Within the pediment is a relief crest of a unicorn.
