Description

Elegant and substantial Georgian townhouse, marred by unsympathetic shop fronts. Of squared, coursed limestone blocks with hipped slate roof; 3 storeys with (originally) symmetrical 5-bay facade. This has an advanced central 3 bay section with surmounting, heavily-moulded pediment; associated moulded cornice with leaded parapet. The second floor retains its original unhorned 16-pane sashes, except to the far L, where replaced by a modern 12-pane tilting assimilation. The first floor has tall segmentally-headed windows, of which that to the centre is boarded and those to the R have 6-pane C20 glazing. The 2 left-hand bays have elegant wooden rectangular oriels with 15-pane unhorned sashes to the front, moulded cornices and hipped roofs. These are alterations of the second quarter C19. Creasing above the corresponding 2 right-hand bays indicates that these formerly also had such oriels. Broad sill-bands to the upper floors. Three modern shop fronts occupy the ground floor.

Two C19 plain stick baluster staircases lead to the first floor, one continuing to the second with a returned balustrade at the top; otherwise modernised interiors.
