Description

Large 3-storey Georgian townhouse. Roughcast over brick and rubble with late C19 plaster quoins and architraves to most openings; hipped slate roof with 2 squat central chimneys, the latter of stuccoed brick. Asymmetrical 4-bay facade with the entrance in the third bay (from the L). This has a boarded-up door (at time of survey) with rectangular, marginally-glazed overlight. Flanking the entrance are 2 large rectangular bay windows with wooden pilasters carrying entablatures with modillion cornices; both were found to have boarded windows at the time of inspection. To the L of these are two further small windows, also boarded. The first and second floors have elegant 12- and 9-pane sashes respectively, all unhorned, near-flush and with cambered heads. Lugged stucco surrounds with projecting keys and bracketed sills. Similar 12-pane windows to the ground and first floors of the R gable end, with a further 9-pane sash to the top floor.

Adjoining to the L, and stepped-down from the main building, is a low 2-storey, 2-bay service block. This is rendered and slated and has an entrance to the R and plain windows; openings have simple plaster surrounds and were boarded-up at the time of inspection.

Enclosing a small forecourt in front of the main building is a good late C19 terracotta balustrade. This has bulbous turned balusters with moulded rail on a moulded plinth, and has square gate piers to the R with a curved end section beyond. The right-hand pier has the collar for a former ball finial (that to the L is lost).

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.
