Description
Vernon House is a house and commercial premises that features painted roughcast walls and a slate close-eaved roof. It has tall red brick end stacks and stands three storeys high, with a double-fronted design. The second floor contains two 20th-century casement windows, while the first floor has a 12-pane sash window and a canted oriel window with a configuration of 4-12-4 panes. The ground floor features an off-centre arched doorway flanked by altered openings. The doorway is framed by a stucco doorcase with Ionic pilasters, an entablature, and a cornice, along with an impost band around the reveals. The door and fanlight are from the 20th century. To the right is a 20th-century shop window with top lights, and to the left is a 20th-century door leading to the upper floors.
At the rear, there is a rubble stone wing on the left with a hipped slate roof and red brick surrounds around the windows. The top floor has four-pane and nine-pane windows, while the first floor features four-pane and twelve-pane windows on the end wall.
Inside, the ground floor has been opened into one room, with two fireplaces located on the right wall. Stairs ascend from the left door, with an enclosed first flight that makes a right-angle turn to the next flight, featuring a thin turned newel, stick balusters, and a ramped rail.
