Description
House, painted plaster covering timber-frame, on a painted rubble stone plinth. Slate roofs. Two lateral chimneys on the rear wall. Three- bay front of basement and one and a half storeys. Three gables, the centre one smaller, separated by short sections of roof with projecting eaves. Modern centre porch in front of a half-glazed door with framework of pilasters and entablature. To each side, a rectangular, early C19 casement-pair with iron glazing bars and Gothic heads to top panes, the left one of two lights and the right one of three. All the gables have C19 plain bargeboards and wooden cross-windows. An exposed tie beam across right gable is inscribed "Hugh Bennet: and Iohan Bennet: Anno: 1637". Rendered right end wall. Left end wall has a small casement pair above and an earlier C19 square bay window below, with cast-iron small-paned lights with Gothic heads to top panes on sides, and three Gothic heads with intersecting glazing bars to front (same pattern as on Nos 7, 9 and 11 Arthur Street). Bay has a door on left, rear, side approached by flight of steps with iron rail. Rear stone and brick chimney has been shortened (according to evidence of old photograph). Added wing to left of one bay with brick end stack. C19 painted brick with dentilled eaves broken for a cambered-headed sash window over a wide oriel window with three full-length windows to front. The narrower outer sashes are 16-pane, the centre one 24-pane with Gothic tracery to the top panes. Beneath these is a transom over 2-3-2-pane bottom lights. Below the oriel is recessed door and basement window. House is fronted by a stone-flagged path on a rubble stone retaining wall with iron hooped railings. Steps up with plain iron railings from left end.
