Description
The building is an 18th-century attached house with two storeys and attic dormers, originally consisting of five bays, and features an advanced two-storey, two-bay range to the east. It has a shallow-pitched slate roof with kneelered gable ends and plain rendered end chimneys, along with plain eaves. The facade is stuccoed and has a slightly off-centre entrance. It includes a moulded stucco entablature supported by engaged Doric columns and a plain recessed doorcase, featuring a six-panelled door with a decorative fanlight above and four contemporary crescent-shaped steps. The ground and first floors of the left and central bays have 12-pane, almost flush sash windows, with the first-floor windows displaying rusticated, flat-arched stone voussoirs and a projecting key. A similar window-head is present on the right, although the window is now blocked. The right-hand bays on both floors are occupied by a large canted bay, which is a later addition, featuring paired and single 16-pane recessed sash windows. The attic level has three 20th-century symmetrically-spaced stuccoed and gabled dormers with 9-pane recessed sash windows.
Adjacent to the house is an early 19th-century east range that has two pairs of slightly recessed 12-pane sash windows and a tall centrally-placed chimney that is rendered and flush with the facade. This range also has a slate roof with plain eaves.
The rear elevation is asymmetrical, featuring windows with 9 to 15 panes, most of which are slightly recessed. There is a large, full-height bow window on the left that is independently roofed and has dentilated eaves, dating from the early 19th century, along with a gabled dormer similar to those on the front.
Included in this listing is a section of boundary wall that adjoins the house to the east, extending up to but not including modern entrance piers. This wall is constructed of sandstone rubble with 18th-century brick upper courses, along with some 19th and 20th-century patching. There is also a section of contemporary brick garden wall to the east of the entrance piers, running north-south.
The house is of notable quality and holds an important position within the street, with strong connections to a significant local architect. Inside, the entrance hall features boxed and plastered beams, which may indicate an earlier core. There is a mid-19th-century Gothic stone fireplace adorned with decorative rosettes and foliate work in the spandrels, along with four and six-panelled fielded doors and a brick-floored cellar.
