Enterprise House

Enterprise House is an office building designed in the Renaissance Revival style, built in 1909. It features two storeys and a double depth plan, constructed from distinctive local red brick with a moulded stone eaves cornice. The hipped slate roof is set back behind a parapet and is topped with three tall brick chimneys.

The entrance front has six bays arranged symmetrically, with a central doorway flanked by advanced outer gables that are highlighted by banded pilasters and a stone cornice, which is interrupted by full-height arched recesses. The central doorway is framed by a raised brick surround featuring an ornamental ogee arch, stone ball finials, and a central stone plaque. The entrance consists of double half-glazed doors topped with a timber tympanum inscribed with 'AD 1909' in raised lettering. The windows are small-pane cross-frame casements with projecting narrow cills. To the right of the door are two windows, with the outermost made up of two narrow pairs. To the left of the door is a tall stair window with two narrow pairs to its left. Rainwater and service pipes divide each row of windows, with the hoppers marked with the date 1909. Each floor has wide windows in the advanced gables, and there are four flat-roofed dormers on both the front and rear roof slopes, all fitted with small-paned casements. The return elevations are symmetrically arranged with two pairs of windows on the ground floor and a single pair above, alongside the rainwater goods. There is an additional dormer on the right roof slope. The rear elevation features an eight-window range, with the outer bays expressed as advanced gables, and a central projecting bay window on the ground floor.

Inside, the entrance hall leads to a main half-turn stair that ascends to the first floor, while a secondary quarter-turn stair provides access to the attic. The internal layout is centred around a spine wall, with office rooms located on the sides and rear. Although the plan remains largely intact, there have been significant later alterations, including the installation of partitions. Some original doors, door frames, and other joinery elements have been preserved.
