Description
Colomendy is a town house built from red brick in Flemish bond, featuring brick dentilled eaves, a first-floor brick band, and a raised plinth. The building has a hipped slate roof with a large red brick stack on the left end. It consists of a basement and three storeys, with a three-bay main front facing Arthur Street and two bays on Broad Street. The window openings are cambered-headed, with early 19th-century sixteen-pane sash windows on the main floors and flat-headed wide rectangular eight-pane sash windows in the attic.
On the main front to Arthur Street, there is a dummy window on the ground floor to the right. A central flight of five steps, flanked by an outward-turning iron balustrade with straight uprights, leads up to the doorway. This doorway features panelled pilasters, a lintel, and an open pediment supported by small consoles with roundels. The panelled door has diagonally crossed lower bracing and four panels above, topped by a fanlight with radiating tracery. There are low cambered-headed basement openings on each side of the raised plinth, which do not extend to the centre. The first-floor band does not extend out to the outer angles, unlike Tanycastell on Broad Street. The top floor has eight-pane glazing, with the outer windows being sashes and the centre window having fixed glazing.
The Broad Street front matches the main front but features closely spaced windows and painted stucco below the ground floor sills. There is a flat-headed cellar opening in the left bay, and the right gable end has no chimney.
Stone setts are present in front of both elevations. The interior has not been inspected.
